The opening reception for Monalog’s show at Penn State was a resounding success and I was asked to do a radio interview with Maxx Foxx, who has some rather innovative programming on several radio stations in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley.  Of course I said yes! Then I had to think about the reality that I’ve never done one of these before!

Turns out Maxx has spent a good part of his life making photographs and was incredibly knowledgeable of all things analog black and white. We talked about Monalog and its mission, what makes black and white images so special and then strolled around the gallery and discussed the photographs in the exhibit.

I couldn’t have had a better time and apparently didn’t make a fool of myself. I guess when you are passionate about something it’s easy to express it. And expressing it made me feel even stronger about what Monalog is about … what I am about.

All this self-affirmation makes me want to work harder this year, and that’s a good thing! Funny how unexpected little opportunities can result in outcomes that can make large impacts.

Stay well,

Michael
