If you are in or near Phoenix, come and see my photo exhibit this Friday!
I'm showing a few pieces at Purple Wall Studios at 2009 N 7th Street (north/east corner of 7th Street and Palm Lane - you can't miss it, it's a purple and green building with a giant mural facing south).
We will be open from 6-10 PM. The space is also on the First Friday shuttle route.
There will be wine and goodies, also Eddie Elliot will be performing - he's amazing - you should check it out. Several other artists will be represented as well.
If you need more info, you are welcome to PM or email me.
The deed is done! Thank all of you who were so supportive. I also had a lot of support from local friends who came to my photo show.
Here are some snaps of the event - well, at least the beginning. I was slightly hysterical from the excitement and (albeit positive) stress, and decided to imbibe. So later shots were taken when I was somewhat inebriated. Fortunately, I'm able to use one for Blurry Mess - ha!
Got to the gallery around 4PM to hang the show [thumb]656471[/thumb]

Exhibiting with me in the same space was a glass artist. Here's our sign: [thumb]656473[/thumb]
After initial struggles, it only took me about 40 minutes to hang the pictures in their respective groupings.
I got some of the most oohs and aaahs for this photo -
And these got a lot of attention, too -
Here's my sign - with thanks on the bottom:
The first person to walk through the door!
Here's someone else looking. I didn't want to stalk all the visitors - so I just took these two.
Over the course of the evening there were tons of people there. The shuttle would bring a large group every thirty minutes. Many took my card and I talked with quite a few. However, since I also had a lot of friends there, my attention was pretty compromised, not to mention the red wine...
Here's me with two friends - I was in a state of high energy and excitement as you can see by this not-so-flattering photo, but hey.

I had the best time I've had in a while and there was also a real sense of accomplishment. The feedback I got was so very encouraging and made me proud. I will definitely continue to pursue showing my work, now that I've done it once and know what it entails.
I didn't sell any photos of the 10 I showed, but I got two orders for prints from photos in my portfolio.
i'm sending you a warm hug & wishing you all the best in your exhibit ..
i wish i could just blink myself over there for the day .. or maybe two days ... well until i wore out my welcome !!!..
