Nashville: Photography Show by Chad McClarnon

Photographer Chad McClarnon in Nashville at Bongo Java

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Local Photographer’s artist reception to benefit Nashville Red Cross at Bongo Java Coffee Shop on Belmont Blvd.

NASHVILLE, TN: May 13, 2010, 7-11 PM

bongoPR

Back in February, local photographer Chad McClarnon raised $300 for Partners in Health’s “Stand With Haiti” campaign with his opening at Fido Coffee shop. Chad is currently exhibiting his work at Bongo Java Coffee Shop on Belmont Blvd. Due to the now incredible need for relief from the recent flood disaster right in his hometown of Nashville, Chad has decided to have an opening for his show to raise money for the Nashville Area American Red Cross. Chad has promised to donate 50% of all profits from print sales made at Bongo Java throughout the entire month of May to the Nashville Area Chapter American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. For all print sales made during the reception on May 13th, 100% of profits will be donated. Cash and Check donations will also be accepted during the reception.

Ever since his father gave him a Minolta X-700 when he was 11-years old, Chad has been shooting photos. The collection of images in this show is an example of the work he’s been doing over the past 2 years. Chad’s photography tries to focus on telling a story in a visually compelling way. Chad has very recently gotten into fine art photography, and Bongo Java is his sixth exhibition of these works. You may have seen his work at Fido Coffee Shop in Hillsboro Village, Crema Coffee on Hermitage Ave., The Frothy Monkey on 12 South, Casablanca Coffee in the Gulch, or Sweet Sallie’s Bakery and Cafe in Cookeville, TN.

You can see Chad’s work online at http://www.cwmphoto.com or call (615) 481-7508 for
additional information. You may also check out his blog for more info on the event at www.cwmphoto.com/blog

[ECUADOR] The House of the Macana

The House of the Macana

By Tirzah Russell de Franco


On any day, in a valley of the Andes Mountains you will find Don Jose Jimenez and his family at home – weaving.  They are 1 of only 15 families left that still make the tradicional Macana, a multicolor ladies shawl.  They use only natural materials such as cotten and wool.  Don Jose showed us big clay pots with natural dyes taken from flowers, nut hulls, and a fastener made from ashes.  Don Jose works the weaving loom and when by- passers like us come he gives a little tour. His daughters seem to be the experts at finishing the fringes on the shawls and showing off the finished products to tourists like us who try them on.  The traditional weavers can’t compete with factories that spit out shawls of synthetic fabric and colors, but there is definitely something special about sporting a beautiful handwoven shawl even if it costs more! Besides, technically no 2 shawls are exactly alike. If you ever come to Ecuador come and visit Jose Jimenez and family!
