barbara a hoffman photography: deux vagues embrasser (two waves embrace)

this post is one of those "epic" periods in ones life . . . you know when you deal with some really huge event in your life that just might have historical relevance . . . this is one of those moments for my 20 year old son, evan.

sometimes you don't ever want to push your children too hard . . . but when they have a passion, or great ideas, you just want them to succeed in that dream . . . so you highly encourage
that passion or that dream that they
might have . . .

last year while attend grand rapids community college evan made this unique sculpture in his 3-D class. the professor was so impressed with it that it was picked to go in the student spring exhibit.

then . . . while attending the spring exhibit, his dad really questioned him on whether he thought about making it in a larger scale . . . like large enough to be in artprize. actually, both his dad and i thought that this was a genius idea . . .

tim, being a structural engineer also had connections with those in the steel industry . . . connections
were made . . .

fast forward . . . (week

of September 22, 2010 through October 10, 2010)

evan's venue for host his "deux vagues embrasser" is the Gerald Ford Federal Building. it will be there that you can vote "up" for his sculpture.

so early this morning evan had a couple of friends help him . . . jordan and jess . . . (a huge shout out to you both!)
