time for another change

Perhaps a word or two or three about the change of status in regards to the display of prints at Old Rag Photography Gallery in Sperryville, VA. I retrieved all the prints from the gallery Jan. 20. The word is that the gallery is going to be painted - which it needs to be. But there is so little attention given to the enterprise by its owner that there is hardly any point in being there. It was more exposure for physical prints than I receive any other way, but the company kept there did not exactly enhance my aesthetic. Quite simply, there was too much mediocre pleasantly pretty work. My direction has changed as well, moving away from pretty pictures of the wilderness with no traces of humanity anywhere.

It's time to re-evaluate the entire desire to display and sell prints.

RAAC Tour

One of my few photos of Rappahannock County - the court complex, that is. 

This weekend is the annual studio and gallery tour in beautiful Rappahannock County, Virginia. I've had prints on display, for sale, at the Old Rag Photography Gallery in Sperryville, Va. for several years. The gallery is on the tour, and I plan to spend a good part of Nov. 3 in the gallery, trying to hawk some prints and play the part of an "artist." I think Janet probably threw out my beret, so I may not quite look the part. We'll see if anyone actually comes through town to look at our work.
