So it is now the 3rd of January 2012, the world has not ended, and mine seems to be about to expand. Even through I have had this opportunity at least twice before and almost pass on the opportunity again because it being January and so close to the New Year. Yet something felt right to have the Solo exhibit with the Photographic Society of Philadelphia now, starting the New Year with a new collection, surrounded by photographers and creative people.
It all meant having new prints made, buying new frames and mats, and everything put together an expense I really didn’t desire to create at this time yet necessary to create this beautiful exhibit, which I am very excited and proud to present to the members and the public.
So today at 6 Pm at Cafe 12 in Philadelphia Pa, there is a reception for the preview of my nature inspired detailed photographs, many looked like studio shots but are taken in nature, a two taken in natural light within the house, the blueberries and Christmas ornaments. I like the light on all of these even the owner of the Photo Lounge Print shop commented that I was a good photographer and had a good eye for light! I love when I get unsolicited critics. 
Allow nature to saw you how to see!
There are two more in this collection: tomorrow or the next day we should have video interview as well as shots of the photographs. stay tuned!
Jeff – I know I’ve told you this before, but it bears repeating:
I AM SO DARNED PROUD OF YOU!
Laurie,
I am so thrilled ! This phrase has come across my ears/eyes in the past few days! I am not sure that I have ever had people say this to me!
Love It!
I love shadows in the rain, but they are all so very beautiful. That you have “an eye for light” and are “a good photographer” is one of those “duh” statements. People are drawn to your pictures because the light brings them in and I won’t even mess with the “good photographer” statement. You have a rare and exquisite talent for bringing life to a moment where it can be captured forever.
Barbara,
I am so using your comments for my next artist statement!
You have express authenticlly just what I seek to do and have done! Much honored!
Words fail me, Jeff. These are stunning photos, full of light and nature’s tiny portions of beauty. Best wishes for a very successful solo show!!! You’ve definitely earned the right to bask in a little light of your own!
