It's like photography event day for me today...

The local airport has a cafe and they display local artists' work on their walls. I was just "approved" for a showing there.

This will also kinda be my first "real" showing, since the last one was at my dentists' office, and he's a super good friend of the family (translation: too easy), and because no one at a dentist's office is really thinking too much about photography.

Anyway, I'm psyched. Guess I'll have to take the pics down off my walls at work again.

This a a great opportunity. Depending on when the show starts; consider getting some new work mounted.

I have had more than a couple of showings and I have to say that the best part for you and the proprietor is the opening reception. Have some cheese, have some wine and you will have a ball. Oh yeah; and hopefully some folks will be buying your work. If not that is ok. It is all about networking and exposure. No pun intended.

Friggin' sweet man, does this mean you're ready to go pro?

Oh hey... I wonder if they do that there. You know, I have no idea. Would be interesting... might be too much of a jump for me. I'm too freakin' shy to talk to random people.

Certainly would be nice to see a few sales, but mostly it will be a kick to have the work on display. I can't wait to go eat at the restaurant with my pictures around me.

Definitely framing some new images as well, so that will be cool.

haha, thanks.

Well, could you please define "pro" for me? I could really use another long heated discussion on that.

Technically I'm already "pro", since I do paid photography work for commercial real estate. This, however, represents more of my hobby side of things.

Congrats.

Talk to the owners about an opening night. If they have a bar area, they'll probably do it. If it's just a restaurant, doubtful but it never hurts to ask.
