Oaxaca, Honors day, and CVAD Scholarships


Oaxaca with Mary Ellen was excellent. I spent half of my time photographing the very small rebel tattoo community, and the other half I spent photographing the transgendered February festival. Farmers, painters, and craftsmen wore dresses and paraded down the streets of Zachilla drinking and dancing. Hopefully pictures will be up on Lisslafleur.com soon!

I am being awarded the yearly Outstanding Undergraduate Award for studio art at the University of North Texas, and will be receiving a photographic scholarship through the School for Visual Arts for my final year. I'm hoping to have the full length documentary, Do Si Do, completed by next May and am hoping to land a solo show for the photographs, and to premier the film. Pretty soon I will be up and away to graduate school!
