DCist!!!

May 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Hey everyone! Happy rainy Thursday if you’re in the Washington DC region. Grr rain!

Anyways, today is definitely one the happiest days of my life. And I’m not over reacting! Today I received an email from Heather Goss of DCist in response to an email that I sent her a few days ago. In the original email I asked if it would be possible to get a mention in the Arts Agenda section of the DCist blog and guess what, I got a mention! Here’s the little bit about me:

We love to hear about budding local photographers, like high school junior Joel Carela, who emailed us about his first solo show at the Latin American Youth Center’s Art + Media House on 14th and Columbia Streets NW. You can see his work at the gallery throughout May and find more online at his Flickr site. We expect to see him in DCist Exposed very soon. ( rest of article:http://dcist.com/2009/05/arts_agenda_95.php)

Now, I know this post may seem a bit egotistical but this is really awesome. Not only because I was mentioned, but also because I LOVE DCist. And I’m not just saying that to kiss up! I really love reading DCist. And if you haven’t checked them out.

Peace.

A few things.

I haven’t been blogging as much as I usually do. I blame school…fer sure. To fill the void that’s been left by school work and laziness, I’ve compiled a list of all the things I wanted to post over the past week or two.

My first solo show has gone live: After about a months worth of waiting, my first solo show has gone up. I’m so happy right now. But I have one final thing to do before my show is complete-create an artist statement. Here’s where the show is on display: http://tinyurl.com/cxw8mj. Make sure you go into street view and turn the image 180°.
Next stop…Stonewall Dems: So at my school we have a thing called Fellowship. All fellowship is is a time when all juniors get sent to non-profit organizations here in DC. It’s way cooler than I make it sound! Starting tomorrow, I’ll be interning at Stonewall Democrats. I can’t wait.
