Hello:
It is sad to announce that a great gallery here in Colorado Springs is likely to be closing on the 31st of this month. Edifice Gallery Has been showing state of the art art for the past year. Edifice Gallery has been run by young energetic entrepreneurs for the past year and they have really done a great job of bringing a new wave of art to the community. I was just visiting their web site and came across some of the interesting links, pages, and youtube posts. Following is an example:
If anyone is interested in seeing this gallery continue into 2009 please contact the gallery owners. You may find more information at their web page http://www.edificegallery.com/.
Colorado Springs needs more venues for art not fewer. I realize that this economy is making things tight for everyone but, let’s pull together and work to create artistic opportunities not see them leave our community.
Peace,
Bill
Well, things have been crazy here first with photographing the Obama campaign, then going to DC to photograph the fly girls and participate in Photoweek DC. And now getting ready for my next trip for the Archaeoastronomy of the American South West. I haven’t even finished the first book and I am now in the process of starting the second one. These are long projects that don’t really provide financial rewards until they are finished. The first book has been more than six years in the making and the second one will probably take longer as I will have fewer days each year to capture the needed images.

It will be interesting working on this next book, The locations are a bit more remote and it will be a lot colder taking photos of each one. I suspect this project will be eight years in the making.
Some of the images from the first book have been featured on PBS, and various shows throughout Colorado. I hope to set up a road show for the images soon and perhaps have the book ready to go with them. If you know of a gallery that may be interested please contact me and let me know! figurativephoto@aol.com
Have a great holliday season!
Peace
