Flash and art show

I have been very busy prepping for my art show. Even though it is just one piece, I am going to submit bin art and greeting cards as well. It sounds easy enough, until you get to matting and framing, and then matting the bin art, and then making the cards, and then packing the bin art and the cards, and making little marketing pieces and stickers to get your name out there. Whew! It is fun to have some work in front of me though, instead of just pixels on my computer screen. The show is on Labor Day weekend at Chautauqua in Boulder, put on by the Boulder Art Association.

A complete aside: below is an image taken using TTL flash technique and a turnip. Quite the mysterious vegetable, eh?

Class Recap

So I took a photo workshop all day on Saturday. The TTL Flash class was taught by the energetic, enthusiastic, talented Tom Bol. I liked him a lot (even if he is a Nikon guy!), and am inspired to get out there more with my 580 EX II. The class was taught at the Center for Fine Arts Photography in Fort Collins.

• One of my photographs has been included in "The West-Old, New, Wild, True" juried exhibit that takes place at Chautauqua in Boulder on Labor Day weekend (September 4-7, 2009). The show is sponsored by the Boulder Art Association. The chosen photograph is of my friend Fred kayaking in Waterton. My favorite, a pink gate off of Shelf Road down by Canon City, was not chosen. The whole selection process seems incredibly arbitrary to me. I haven't show anything for several years; I believe it was the 2002 "Moveable Feast" holiday show put on by the Maryland Federation of Art at their Circle Gallery. I have lots of work to do to prepare for the show since I would like to participate in the bin art and create some greeting cards for sale as well.


• I am creating a new website using Dreamweaver. Hopefully it will be ready to launch in the next few weeks.
  


• I would like to revamp my SmugMug site. It has become too crowded with photos I just wanted to share with family and friends, and is more casual than I would like. I would like to use strictly as a store.
