Previously, I presented the two images that were not accepted into the August photography exhibition at the Columbia Art Gallery (
Now that the ‘Celebrate the Gorge’ exhibit is over, I think it’s safe to post the three images that were ‘invited’ to the show.
A New Way to ‘Take’
Looking East
It was my friend Bernadette who encouraged me to enter the show after she saw the ‘Looking East’ photo in my blog post, Cape Horn : What’s In a Name? http://thenarrativeimage.blogspot.com/2010/05/cape-horn-whats-in-name.html
The water-level shot pointed up the gorge from the vicinity of the Cape Horn formations seemed to strike a resonant chord within her, perhaps because she also is an enthusiastic kayaker. In any case, she insisted I enter – that picture in particular – and though I wasn’t quite sure how one would go about preparing digital files for a gallery exhibition, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. Besides, I wouldn’t have to print and frame the images unless they made it past the jury.

My mom and my brother were able to attend the opening with me.
As I walked around the exhibit, examining all the other entries – stunned by bold colorful images, novel presentations and technical expertise - I began to feel a little bit like Wayne
The opening, like I said before, was on a Friday. But this particular Friday also happened to be concurrent with something the folks in
Transforming a street into a ski slope
It was a good day.
Excellent Scott! I can't say I am surprised, as your photography is magnificent. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to start your coffee table book?
ReplyDeleteyou are a well known photographer now :)
heartiest congrats!

Congrats Scott. I also noticed how confidently you wear a manbag. Gotta have a place for the chapstick, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Yes Megan, it takes a man completely secure in his masculinity to brandish a ‘manbag’ confidently, a strong, muscular man – a worldly man – the kind of man who can give you that spanking you so richly deserve.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments,
scott
Congratulations! Well-deserved honors. I'm very pleased for you, Scott.
ReplyDeleteI blew up that picture of you looking in the gallery window so that it would fit the size of the window panes at my house. I typically move it around to different windows in the house to scare the crap out of my family and visitors who will catch it out of the corner of their eye and shriek as they think some creepy dude is peering in at them. When my children are bad I put it in their rooms window......makes them cry real good. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, in one of your "first friday" pictures I can be seen walking with 2 women neither of which is my wife......uhhhh, I was hoping you could maybe blur out my face or something like they sometimes do to hide people's naughty bits.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I'm gonna sue you for that prize money and I don't care how strong, good looking and wealthy your brother is.
