After a long period of scientific research limited access, Lechuguillita, the smallest cave of the Americas, is open to the public on May 15th for the first time. Salt and copper sulfate pentahydrate crystal formations deck the 0.25 cubic ft. frozen cave. Lechuguillita Cave lies beneath studio wilderness area. However, it appears that the cave's passages may extend out of the studio into adjacent Bureau of Art Management (BAM) land. A major threat to the cave is proposed drilling on BAM land. Any leakage of gas or fluids into the cave's passages could kill cave life or cause explosions.

Ink consists of a video of a partial portrait. However, the piece seems more like a still image. Nothing changes, except for the occasional movement of the eye. The amount of detail conveyed through the use of High Definition stands in stark contrast to the ambiguity of the piece. Ink is The Kenmore's first FotoFest exhibit.

Michael grew up where The Sound of Music was filmed. He came to America on Thanksgiving Day 1999, wondering why all the Americans on the plane were eating Turkey. He then settled in Houston for the warm weather and the friendly people. In 2008 he graduated with an MFA from the City’s prestigious TIER One pursuing University. (This is where we met!) He spent one semester teaching Design, Photography, Digital Imaging and Video Art at Lamar University in Beaumont and now runs his own video production company.
