 growth & change. Wednesday, March 14, 2007 It is still warm here, threatening rain, even possible thunderstorms...some trees look to be budding but there is a chance for a final snow over the weekend...but they won't stop spring I surmise and by 'they' I mean the weather suits on the TV. I mentioned a couple days back that I was honored to be chosen to take part in the Exhibition 280 at the Huntington Museum of Art over in West Virginia. It's a pretty big deal for this neck of the country I guess. I felt a twinge of guilt because a pal who hipped me to the call for entries, who is a really renowned photo artist who does photograms didn't get in this year even though she has gotten in before. Not sure why I felt guilty talking about it with her but I did. Got some more strong news...one of my shots (the iconic shot of Wilder) was selected for The Art of Photography Show in San Diego, CA. Again, seems like a pretty big deal at least to me. They received 9867 entries from 37 countries. 103 pieces were chosen. I was 1. No cash prize dammit but nonetheless they do some strong marketing, there is a catalog and most of the works in the previous years have sold so that is pretty okay. My advice to people...keep submitting to shows, success at some level will come. growth is good. Diana (Mark L clone) New Kodak Porta 160 NC. Comment (9) | Permalink |
