I'm Picking out a Thermos For You...

OK, Well, I'm not really picking out a thermos for you...I am picking out my photos for the "Roots in Detroit" Exhibit which is coming up in a couple of weeks. 15 Days to be precise. So, I know I haven't uploaded all of my photos that are potentially going into the show. But I currently have 82 in mind. Do you have a favorite? Let me know on the comment section and I will try and get that printed as well for this show.

"Ghost of Future Detroit" is my honorable mention in the show and the sponsors have provided us with a bit 24"x36" print of our winning images. There are 11 artists featured in this show. Ron beat me by getting second place in the show! Isn't that great? His image, "Metro Gothic" will be featured too.

In case you haven't penciled it in yet, I would like to invite you to the Historic Farmington Winery at 31505 Grand River Avenue, Farmington, MI 48336 on August 13th from 6-9pm. Check out the Event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=156192427787371

OK, here's the song for you...

Getting out for the Royal Oak Photography Meetup this past week got me some interesting shots...although they are not all macro photography, which the meetup was all about, I shot a whole range of stuff. I think some of it will be in the Roots of Detroit Exhibit on August 13, 2011. This will be the beginning of my bike theme.

Roots in Detroit Date Announced!

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I am sorry I've been lax in my upkeep of this blog. I have been shooting and painting a little. The paintings seem unfinished, so they may make an appearance later this year.

Ron and I did a lot of shooting this weekend with the Royal Oak Photography Meetup Group, and we need to get more work for our upcoming "Roots in Detroit" Exhibit. The two of us, along with 9 other photographers will be showing our work in August. SAVE THE DATE!

One of the cool things about this is the organizer for the Royal Oak Meetup group is also a finalist in this competition! Check out her work as well as the other winning artists on the Roots in Detroit facebook photo page by clicking here.
