ggriswold Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I looked for the correct forum for this inquiry and this seemed to be the best fit so here it goes.... I just completed a series on an old business in New Orleans, LA. Ed Smith's Stencil Works. In this location for60 years these shots document the retail and manufacturing here. I am trying to come up with a working title forthe group that will be narrowed down to about 12 shots. When you have time could you kindly look atmy site and suggest a show title? I am stumped and looking for some fresh ideas. I seem to bebouncing around with shopworn phrases, the obvious and downright didactic. It may be a simple as "Ed Smith's Stencil Works", but that is not very descriptive for someone looking at a flyerthis December when PhotoNOLA 2008 takes place in the first two weeks of December in New Olreans. Sponsored by The New Orleans Photo Alliance some preliminary info can be found here:http://neworleansphotoalliance.blogspot.com/2008/06/photonola-2008.htmlIt is a great event here and you may want to come down for a weekend or two for all the events. Just as it isgetting really cold up North come down for some photographic inspiration. It is also warm enough to strollaround and take some photos too. Thank you in advance,George GriswoldNew Orleans, LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've never been good at titling my own work, but I'd start the series with your photo "Store Front 1", and call the series "End of an Era". Joel Berry - Sugar Land, Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminoliverhicks Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I don't have any ideas about the title yet, but I was wondering if I could get some more information about PhotoNOLA. Are all the events open to the public? Will you have to pay to get into the events, and if so would it be one payment or individual payments for each event? I would just like to get some general information on how the event is structured, as I live in New Orleans, and I am looking to become more active in the photographic community.

mark_starr Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 but the images are fantastic- a really great series. At least you don't have to worry too much about the title with work of that quality! Sorry I am no help, but thanks for sharing your work! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I agree, great photos! How about "Sign of the times" Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvanraes Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Very nice work. That being said I think "Ed Smith's Stencil Works 190? - 200?" would work fine. I don't think you want to get too cute given the feeling of the shots...good luck Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
