Hello:
This Friday July 11th, is the latest photo show with my work in it. It has been a great experience setting this show up and I think there will be a few surprises for those of you that decide to go to it? We are having images from two clubs that I am a member of as well as a couple of relatively famous photographers from Denver (Hal Gould and Loretta Young-Gautier of the Camera Obscura Gallery) and a photographer from Montana. We will have images from 24 artists on display!
The show will take place at the Smokebrush Foundation 218 West Colorado Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO. You can find it in the Art Depot district just under the Colorado Avenue Bridge on the North side of the street. The show starts at 5 PM on July 11th and goes through July 23rd. Visit the smokebrush website for details. http://www.smokebrush.org/happenings.htm
It was interesting setting this show up! The staff of the Smokebrush center did all the work of actually intaking the images, and putting them on display. I put out a notice that we were looking for images with two photo clubs here in Colorado Springs and requested that they let me know if they were planning to put images up in the show. I received 13 responses from people that they wanted to put images in. 24 people actually brought images to the show. With such a great response we had to turn down a number of pieces of work but, every artist got at least one image into the show. The end result is 88 great photos for people to view! The show is free and open to the public and a number of the images are up for sale so feel free to bring your wallet.
Originally there was going to be a fashion show to go with the photo show. The fashion show was canceled as the producer of the fashion show is unavailable to put it all together. It is unfortunate as in excess of 44 people were participating in the fashion show. We were going to have models, designers, a DJ, a lighting person, a body painter and we invited photographers to photograph the fashion portion of the show. I hope this show can take place at some point in the future. It is amazing the details that go into producing a fashion show of this nature! Well, as the show states “Life Goes On.”
I hope a lot of you make it to the show and take the time to let me know what you think by commenting to this blog!
Peace,
