Curse of the Black Gold - NEWS & EASTMAN HOUSE

Poor Ed, while he is away in the Middle East on assignment, our advance shipment of Curse of the Black Gold books arrived. We all felt a little guilty for having an advance sneak peek at the book before Ed! That guilt faded quickly though once we started thumbing through the pages of the book. Exquisite. This is a book that is going to have a priority spot on my coffee table that is for sure.

Hats off to everyone involved in the making of this book. You did well!

To coincide with this exciting news in the studio, I have some dates for an exhibition and a lecture at the George Eastman House in Rochester. Here are the details:

Sequel to The Sandwich Generation now on AARP website

In 2006 my wife, Julie Winokur, and I created a multimedia story called The Sandwich Generation. It was about our struggles with taking care of Julie's ailing father and our kids at the same time. It was originally commissioned by Brian Storm for MSNBC.COM and eventually also published on MediaStorm's website. Earlier this summer we were commissioned by AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) to produce a new story, one year later. Julie and I made this short film and it has just been released at the link that follows. I hope it provides inspiration, comfort and support for others going through similar circumstances and for those who are struggling with these kinds of decisions.
