Parsec....you came back

My photograph, "Parsec" was returned
to me by the Center of Fine Art Photography earlier this week. That
means it didn't sell but that's cool with me. I'm sure it'll happen
eventually and I'm happy just to have it on display.
My next show is in June (6/1-6/25) at the Infusion Gallery in downtown LA. 4 photographs instead of 1!
At the moment I updated my portfolio (check it out by clicking on the link on the right) and I'm trying to make a nice fancy CD of my portfolio so I can have it reviewed by other galleries and anyone else. But I'm having trouble with the "fancy" part. At least on the Mac OS, I want to CD to auto open its main window which it does but also reveal the custom layout that I've spent too much time on. It looks great on the system I created the CD on but not on my powerbook. Very frustrating indeed. Once I have it figured out I plan on mailing it to several galleries for review in hopes they like my work.
Also, I want to contact the people at the Infusion Gallery to see if they would be cool with me having several books of my work available at the gallery during the time my work will be on display. Since I'm not in a solo show, they may not like the idea but on the other hand the books may help sell my photos so they may like it. The books are cheap books you get through Aperture and iPhoto and I plan on having around 50 pages per book of 50 or so of my photographs inside. Basically a cheap promo piece. If I get a few people to at least just visit my web site after thumbing through the pages, then I say they're successful. I may also have the CDs available too but I thought the book would be better because books don't have additional requirements (gotta have a computer to view the contents of the CD) to view them and thus people get instantaneous viewing.

Group Show in LA

I have an upcoming group gallery
showing of 4 of my photographs in the month of June. The name of
the gallery is Infusion Gallery of LA. Visit them at www.infusiongallery.com
Here's the dates:
Show: June 1-25, 2008
Opening Reception: June 12, 2008
I hope to be there the evening of the opening reception. Although not my first gallery show, my first with 4 photographs and my first actually being there seeing them on a wall for all to see (I plan on attending the evening of the 12th).
So when I heard the gallery was interested in my work of course I was pretty excited. A few days ago I suddenly realized that my work isn't finished. Its an accomplishment to get my work in a gallery but I still need to convince people to buy the prints. That then leads to me to figuring out how to advertise and convince people to come to a group show, not a solo show. I don't know many people living in or around LA. How do I convince either complete strangers to show up or people I do know living in the Bay Area to drive several hours just to see 4 photographs? Hopefully the gallery itself will be far more successful.

Online Art Gallery Exhibit

Since the beginning of this month I
have two of my photographs exhibited in an online art gallery
exhibit, entitled the 9th Annual Abstraction International Art
Exhibition. The gallery's name is the Upstream
People Gallery.
Sometime during September I came across a call to entry of theirs (which they have many) and decided to enter. I don't think its a huge deal but I am pretty happy about it as it should help me to increase my exposure which is awesome. Unfortunately my name nor my work was mentioned in the juror's statement as I hoped it would. But like I said two of my pieces have been included and that should draw some interest in my flower photography.
One problem I noticed is their posting of my photographs appear rather de-saturated. I just emailed them concerning this and I hope the gallery can help me address the issue soon.
Feel free to let me know what you think of them; good or bad.
I plan on entering part of my portfolio and some other work in two entry calls in November. One call has a theme of "portfolio" (only 8 images and mine is currently at 16) and the other's theme is "macro". I'm very excited about the latter as I think I have the greater chance of being selected. Read more on the web site for The Center For Fine Art Photography. If there are any photographs shown on my web site anyone feels strongly about in which you think I should consider entering, please feel free to contact me. I'm always interested in feedback; positive or negative. Any feedback is so much better than none at all.
