Wickford was very busy this past weekend with it's annual Art Festival. I did not get a chance to go this year, but it was probably overflowing with great talent and enthusiastic crowds as usual! The Wickford Art Association, the hosting party, also held a call for entry for it's summer show "Art of the Ocean State", which I eagerly submitted work for.

I haven't been out shooting much lately, but the little bit of shooting I have been managing has been with my Holga and some black and white film. I've already shared some images from Matunuck, but I've been visiting the various beaches along the southern shore of Rhode Island.
