My first show

--

I�m very exited to have 5 prints (3 of them Leica

photographs--OT) in a show of work by the Ft. Greene

Photography Association at Long Island University in downtown

Brooklyn, NY.

 

Here are the details:

 

Fort Greene Photography Association Exhibit.

September 1 to September 27

Reception: Wednesday, September 18, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m

 

 

Salena Gallery at Long Island University - Brooklyn Campus,

1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY -

On the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb.

 

Gallery Hours are from Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm,

Weekends from 11am to 5pm.

F or more information call (718) 488-1198.

 

We just finished the installation last night and the work of the 19

photographers, other than myself, is stunning (I�m pretty pleased

with my own prints, but modesty forbids my posting a value

judgment about it :-)

 

The FGPA is a very interesting group--this is from its web

site(http://www.FGPAonline.com/):

 

�The Fort Greene Photography Club was started on January

14th, 2001. The club is open to anyone who has an interest in

the art of photography. The Fort Greene Photography Club is not

a class, nor is it a camera club. It is an informal environment of

creative photographers sharing their knowledge of photography

and learning from others�

 

I joined the FGPA only a few months ago and immediately

noticed that it is VERY different from the traditional �camera club�

I also belong to. For one thing, at age 57, I�m probably the oldest

member--I�m one of the younger members of the traditional

camera club--a nearly 100 year old PFLI and PSA affiliate. The

FGPA has an interesting mix of amateur and professional

photographers many of whom, to my great delight work in black

& White and do their own darkroom work (things mostly

abandoned long ago by members by the members of my other

club). I find both groups to be very valuable--largely because of

their differences.

 

In any case, I hope some of you in the NYC area will be able to

attend the show.

Hi, Bob:

 

I'd like to congratulate you for the exhibition and thank you for your kind invitation to go have a look. But, please, remember that you are talking to people all over the World, here. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend your exhibition but be sure that I(and probably many other people too) will appreciate to see your work if only you were kind enough to post it . . . will you ?

 

Congrats again, Bob, and best regards

Thank you Ivan. I've only scanned 3 of the 5 prints. I only printed

the other 2 at 11 X 14 inches, too large for my flatbed scanner.

Here are the titles and URLs for the3 I can show:

 

1. Alone on the Long Meadow, Prospect Park:

2. Tribute, September, 2001:

3. Clearance, Winter DO-IT-Yourself Project:

I've tried the 3 URLs I just posted--sometimes they work and

aometimes they don't. Ah, the mysteries of Photo Net!

 

I really hope that anyone who wants to see these 3 photos can

do so. If not, I apologise.

I'll try to post the 3 phoyos directly--hope it works.<div></div>

Success!! Here's #2<div></div>

#2 worked (except that my typing is even worse than my other

computer skills--it should read 'Long Meadow'

 

Here's #3<div></div>

The three URLs you posted first work much better if the blank

space is removed near the end. It's my understanding that

blanks aren't permitted in URLs.

Excellent pictures!! I especially like 'Clearance'and 'Alone on the long meadow.' The juxtapisition in the former is clever and almost mischievious (you devil!) :-), and the latter scene has a very calm and pleasant feel to me. Makes me wish I could come out to see the real prints. Congrats on the show.
