Teressa from Jeff Elliott's HHS! Submission

It is fascinating for me to watch the entries come in, they really do pop-up from all across the board. I get to see the work of artists of all sorts, shapes, and sizes––from my peers and individuals just discovering their love of the medium to artists who give me something to aspire to.

Jeff Elliott aspires to Hot Shot status. He has been photographing for over 40 years. For him, photography started with Antioch College. He went on to get his MFA and studied at M.I.T., The San Francisco Art Institute, The University of Madrid, and The Universidad de Arte in San Miguel. And I thought one institution was confusing... In 1968 he found himself an apprentice for Minor White. He went on to live in several ZaZen Monasteries and taught meditation for 8 years. During his 30's and 40's he became a member of the Chicago Board of Trade and retired at a prime age. Ever since he has devoted his time and energy to his photography. He comes to Hey, Hot Shot! with a series taken while living in the mountains north of Mexico City.
