Okay, here’s some more about Martha’s experience and recent show, which wasn’t her first. However, I don’t recall how many she’s shared with the community. I’ve gotten to know Martha Lanctot quite well, initially as a student in my workshops and over the years as a friend. I’ve come to appreciate how through photo workshops, […]
The Can/Am Photo Expo is coming up April 26-28 at the Buffalo Grand Hotel. It’s one of those annual events that we really don’t want to miss, regardless of where our photography interests lie. Those of us interested in landscape photography will be treated to presentations by Mark Bowie. David FitzSimmons, Deb Sandidge Hazel Meredith, […]
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the opening of a show at the Baldwinsville Library, for my good friend Martha Lanctot. Martha’s show, Face of Cuba, will be on exhibit throughout the month of August. It’s safe to say the general concensus at last night’s opening was . . . “STUNNING, Beautiful, WOW!” Though Martha […]
It took all day, but my Death Valley show at Gallery 54 is up. I have a couple tweaks to complete tomorrow, otherwise we’re ready for the first “First Friday” celebration of the season in Skaneateles. So, the more than four dozen artists with work at Gallery 54 are hoping that my Death Valley show […]
This coming Friday night is the first “First Friday” of the season in Skaneateles. And, as I said, “I’m excited!” I’ve been working the better part of three months, since even before I went to Death Valley National Forest in February. Just a few minutes ago I finished framing the final pieces that will be part […]
. . .when friends enjoy success. That’s what I’ve been privileged to appreciate recently through the CNY Photo Expo sponsored by Gallery 54 in Skaneateles. This past Friday, May 6, witnessed the opening of this special show at the gallery and it turned out to be a delightful experience for everyone. Initial reports indicate that […]
Gallery 54 didn’t set out to make life difficult for the recent artist jury. Still, it turned out to be a challenging assignment as each of three artist/jurors set out to select the images that will be featured at the Gallery 54 Photo Expo, slated for May 6 to May 31. The expo will feature images […]
Go Orange! Okay! Many of us . . . perhaps even most of us in the greater CNY area, will be glued to our TVs on Saturday, cheering the Orange men and women in their respective NCAA Final Four games. By the end of the day we’ll be exhausted. So, though perhaps a bit crass, […]
Who ever stops to think that his or her creative juices might flow to the concrete benefit of others? That has certainly not been common in my experience. Oh sure. I’ve had the occasional request for the donation of an image to a fundraiser of one sort or another. That, I’m afraid, is common to […]
As many readers of this blog know I’m one of the owner/artists of Gallery 54 in Skaneateles, NY. Last year at the gallery, we started a new tradition that invites local artists not already associated with our gallery to be guest artists. Typically, that means one guest artist a month. Well, we’ll be doing something […]
