A Recent Interview by Julia Dean

JD:  What advice would you give someone who is thinking about making a career in photography?

KLM:  Research all avenues to what a career in photography may mean. And to be open to possibly doing three of those paths, such as being a wedding photographer/event photographer, headshots for actors/anyone, and making your art.

Guest Speaker in Brasov, Romania

I had the pleasure in participating at this conference in Brasov, Romania. The event was hosted by Transylvania University. My presentation, "The Colors of Hay and Concrete: The Changing Aesthetics of Maramures Peasants," was about my documentation of the Maramures region in northern Romania. I am grateful to the US Embassy in Bucharest and the New York Film Academy for sponsoring my trip. The conference was the "Appalachians/Carpathians: Researching, Documenting, and PreservingHighland Traditions Conference," hosted by the Transylvania University, Brasov, Romania.
