Art In The County

On Monday, two of my photographs were delivered to the Picton Town Hall (thanks Mags).
These works were to be considered for inclusion in a local event called Art in the County.
In 2007 one of my photogrphs was shown during this event.

"After The Storm"

Today my photos went to the jury for possible inclusion in the 2009 edition.

"Si Se Puede"

"Santa Cocoa"

I am pleased to report that “Si Se Puede” will be included in this years show.
Pieces that were not accepted were picked up today and artists were allowed the opportunity to have a critique by the jurors.

I had the great please to spend time with juror/ photographer Richard Martin.
Richard is a contributor to Photo Life magazine and offers photographic and visual design workshop/seminars in his hometown of Kingston, ON and around the world.

Don’t feel sorry for “Santa Cocoa”. Each entrant was allowed to offer two pieces for consideration. With 180 pieces offered for some 80 spaces, many excellent works were victims of the numbers. Richard had some kind words for my pieces. Especially appreciated was the comment that “Si Se Puede” was a "powerful image". It took on an added dimension for Richard when I told him it was captures in Time Square, NY during Barack Obama’s Inauguration.

If you find yourself in the Picton area between June 19 and July 5 drop into the Old Town Hall at King & Ross ST. and enjoy the creativity of local artists.
And as always you are welcome at the Makers of Stuff Gallery.
