Hello
all! This
is the story of our photo club first exhibition...while most of the members are
novices we thought of making some noise about us just like teenagers do.... So
the last 2 months were spent preparing a one-day exhibition setup in open-air in
one of the town’s parks... Photos
were taken, prints were made (4 each) (and thanks to the club members that
owned B&W enlargers) and were double-side taped on light foam-board (used
by architects for mock-ups) (cheep, easy and light). We had already secured use
of tripods from a members job, clip-on spotlights from the municipality arts
organization, and soon we were ready to launch.... BUT
we had to postpone the opening for a week and that Thursday it was rainy...the
whole day long...Just as when we had setup the tripods it started in the
morning, a nerve breaking drizzle, and kept on and off...Sometime in the
afternoon during a spell of good weather we started mounting the photos...Half
way through it started again. We decided to “fall and fail” but not without
trying, and kept on hanging in the rain...Some people were already visiting and
we were all using umbrellas! Thanks god for someone bringing thin nylon
sheeting to cover the photos... So
this is how we operated..... http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9278/87026894.jpg And
by past 22:00 the rain had stopped and we could use the lights! But a decision
would have to be made...Since we had a lot of borrowed equipment either some of
us would have to crash there on guard, or we would pull everything down... ...to
set them up again next day! And
we did! http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2198/31567383.jpg It
took us less than an hour for the whole lot and we had crowds coming. (did I
mentioned that that Friday was hot and there was a concert going nearby?). People
were somehow caught off-guard...It was so unexpected, the photo happening, the
success, the positive responses, everything! Some more photos.... http://tinyurl.com/l26jwm http://tinyurl.com/mqva2bhttp://tinyurl.com/md4d2g http://tinyurl.com/kk2rp8 This
was a glorious, memorable experience for me. hope you enjoyed it. PS...Andy,
I hope you received my Gallery contribution (it is from this event)...It seems
it did not reach you last week. |
