Taking the plunge...
Well............. I can't believe that we are going to do it.... but we are!
(insert drum roll here.......)
In just under three weeks - we are going to hold our first public photo exhibition!
Wow... that is a scary thought! Our local library has a very large multipurpose room that is used for just about anything/everything. It is a courtroom (once a month)... a reading room... a concert hall... and even an art gallery. So... before I left to go back to the states I reserved this room for the month of February (yes - I picked the shortest month!). My plan is to hang/display photos that we took while in the States. We will have an opening on Friday the 6th of February 7pm to 9pm and then the photos will hang (and the room will be open to the public) for the rest of the month.
I went in to reconfirm that we do indeed have the room, and just talking about the details made me nervous. I don't really know why... but it does make me a bit nervous to have strangers and friends come look at my photos while I am still standing there...... But I also think that I need/want some push to evolve and... a reason to take more pictures. There is just something about being able to share what I see, and I think that it will be great to share our experiences in the states with our friends here.
So... there you have it... more details later...
Oh... and I have changed the timer on the top of the page to countdown to the show...

Why on earth are you nervous??! Your photos are fabulous - all of them are absolutely breathtaking.
that's awesome.... can you share a link on the website to show the photos that will be on display. is that possible?
jo
How exciting! Good luck with everything!
you better present boston loud and proud!
Ali - Thanks... I guess that this is just a first... and not really knowing what to expect... it is one thing to put the pictures out there on the net and not really know who looks at them... and what they think... it is another to actually invite people to come and look.
Jo - well... I'm not really sure exactly which pics I am going to use yet... but I will be taking pictures that night and I'll be updating as we prepare...
Jen - Thanks
Adam - You had better believe it! I have a few from the northeast.
its going to be awesome! i'm excited for you!
I can say from experience that I know how you feel!!! Too bad I can't be there to support you. Art shows are exhilarating and nerve racking all at the same time. But the greatest part is being surrounded by friends.
You'll do great!!!!! Just stick a bowl of fruity cap'n crunch cereal out there and people will totally think you're cool. ;)
Love, the cindar
Cindar - Thanks for the encouragement! I too wish you were here... I could use the help!
The only problem is that i don't have a bowl of fruity cap'n crunch cereal here! oh noooooooooooo.....!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wish we could be there. I know it will be great. We are so proud of you both. -Mom and Dad
Way to go Wallace! I wish I could be there to see it! You are going to do awesome!!! You have such an amazing eye! Such a gift!
wish we could be there. I love openings - they were always the most fun things to see and do in art school.
From one artist to another ... make sure you have a separate list of photos and the prices for each (the "Gallery Notes"). Even if you have no intention of selling anything, now, if you do not have prices on your photos, people will not think you are a professional. Best of luck! (btw, what kind of food are you serving? Starving artists always come to openings that served food!!!)
