This is another image that is just so new that I can’t decide if I should include it in the show or not. Maybe this one instead of the one in the previous post . . . or in addition to . . . or not at all; I’m having an indecisive day.

I can’t decide if I am going to put this piece in the Starkville version of “Ides of the South” or not. I feel like it works with the rest of the show, but it is so new to me, and I haven’t had months to look at it and think about it . . . any opinions?
I created this image for a show entitled Hyphenated-American that is going to be up for a few days around September 4, in the atrium at Rainbow. The show is being put on by The Institute of Southern Jewish Life.
There is a good bit going on in the image, so I uploaded a slightly larger digital file, so if you check out the full-size version you should be able to read/see everything.
Clarion Ledger article about VSA artbuds program that daniel johnson and I helped start, and in which Jerri participated (and is quoted in the article).
Another Clarion Ledger article, but this one is about Storytellers Ball and they use my artwork, which was awarded “honorable mention.” Oddly enough, last night while I wandered through the gallery I heard an older gentleman talking to my artwork, he said, “well Mr. Adkins, I wouldn’t have given you an award.” He then removed his glasses and continued on through the gallery. The JFP also has a gallery of photos from the awards ceremony.
And although this is out of date, I’ll put a link to the JFP’s review of my exhibit too.
I just shot some new products for the guild’s new website, mscraftsmensguild.org (which isn’t up yet as I write this, but the new version should be live next week). Continue reading ‘Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi Images’
A little over a week ago I went down to Hattiesburg to create some ad shots for the school system. It was a fun little shoot, but despite starting at 7 am it was hot. Which worked out for the shot of the power-lifter . . . otherwise it just made it feel more like work. Continue reading ‘Hattiesburg Public School Sports’

I just finished laying out an 11″x17″ poster for the show . . . there are clearly different skills involved in good graphic design versus good photography, but I can afford my own labor.
Jerri and I have been together for about 10 years, married for the last 7. I guess I have had so long to get used to how she is, that sometimes I don’t properly appreciate how great she is. For example, when I told Jerri that I wanted to get up at 2am to drive to Starkvegas and take some night photos and sunrise photos then immediately turn around and drive home, she didn’t even act surprised. When I asked her to go with me and help, she didn’t hesitate. When I actually woke her up at 1:30 am this morning . . . ok so she is never happy when she wakes up, but she got up and helped me load the car anyway. She then helped me lug equipment all over State’s campus, and chase color in the clouds.
