My goal is to produce 50 copies of a 50 page, 4 color processed book of photographs themed around a subjective perspective of my relatively new surroundings (I moved to Duluth just over two years ago. I am requesting the means to make this possible, i.e. design assistance, production costs, etc., as well as time in the form of assistance with living expenses for 3 months. Measurable outcomes will include documentation of having procured the needed expertise of printers and a designer, and having a tangible product as the project's result. My evaluation plan is to cleave to the detailed budget outlined below, to cover the costs for production of 50 books, and to record my time commitments to image making and post-processing. Methods to measure outcomes will include collating all receipts related to publication, and to acquisition of professional services secured.
The actual measurable outcomes were to have completed my second book following "In and Out of Context." While I have shot, edited, and sequenced this new work titled "North," I have not successfully produced it. I have fallen short of the $700 granted for production costs allotted for Arrowhead Printing, after using these funds for housing and related expenses. This week marks my 3rd anniversary of arriving in Duluth, and while I have earned exceptional creative recognition (a solo exhibition at the DAI and numerous related events, prominent features on KUMD, public television's "Playlist," coverage by Perfect Duluth Day and the Duluth News Tribune) I have not secured any conventional, sustaining employment.
