Anybody in or near Reno Nevada........

I will be exhibiting and selling about 40 framed black and white

prints from 12:00 to 6:00 PM today and from 1:00 to 6:00 PM tomorrow

at the "Builders Magazine" offices at 1645 D St. in Sparks Nevada.

I'd love to meet any of you. There will be wine and hors de ouvres.

Well, it was fun to see everything displayed and the display was impressive

if I do say so, but alas we only had about 40 visitors and 90% of them were

friends and family of the other 2 sellers. Lots of drooling and

compliments, but 0 sales. Oh well. This stuff is far too advanced for the

average Nevada people interested in pictures. No one knows what a view

camera is or why an 8X10 contact print is something special. I'm not

dis-appointed. In the right environment they would have been a knock out

punch. There was only 1 lady that knew what they were and what the value/

rarity of the level of work represented. She has an advertising agency in

Northern Nv. and was on the phone imploring her art friends to come and

look. None did. Still it was gratifying to see her reaction. She told her

friends they were mesmerizing. Payment enough for now. Regards. Jim

Sounds like you had fun (around here, people are taken aback if you want to charge more than the $19.95 Walmart charges for a portrait session - and I'm talking executives!).

 

Anywhere we can get an online glimpse of your work (I know it doesn't compare)

Thanks for the interest Tim. I've got one of those little sites that is waiting patiently for a meaningful update! It's mostly color things done quite some time ago, but there is a page with Pt/Pd. Maybe this weekend I can get some of the things from the recent exhibit listed.
