Though I don’t have any photographs on the walls at the Tiger Lily show, I brought a selection for display and perusal to yesterday’s event. A debut, as it’s the first time I’ve displayed a group of shots–important, as you have hopefully gathered by now: my interests and subject matter (and even styles) are very “catholic”–ie: varied. One isolated shot doesn’t really illustrate my work as a whole.
Comments were gratifyingly complimentary, and sure enough, some of them sold right off the bat! Yay! Two are shown here.
Encouraging, as I’ve been considering doing photography shows for a while now–trying to think how I want to approach them–what kinds of groupings/selections/series, mostly. Too many ideas seems to be the problem! Though, I brought a wide variety this time–something of a market test–for formal exhibitons, I’ll probably focus on narrow themes. Would you believe I can put together a show of arrows on pavement? And that they might look different than you would expect?
Beyond simply the desire to share with others, given the amount of time and work I put into shooting and editing–which, though a painter, I’ve done for decades now–it would be great to see this aspect of my work actively contributing to my career in a more than behind-the-scenes way.
So, the sales yesterday, and the commentary, are enourmously encouraging!
