Coming to the next artEAST gallery exhibition soon

I'm very honored ad pleased to share that I have heard news that at least two of my images have been accepted in the upcoming Art East Gallery "Hit Us with Your Best Shot" Photography Exhibition which will run starting in early February at the gallery! Maybe I'll have a chance to submit more work to add to the line-up but for now I'm just enjoying knowing I'll have the work ahead of me preparing my prints for the early February hanging.

More details for when the opening event occurs will follow once I know more later this month!

Sharing cards and prints in the local community

As a photographer what sometimes is very satisfying is to simply be able to see your images come alive and not just reside on a computer as a digital file or in a drawer full of 35mm slides - you want to see them, and you want them to be seen! Many options exist for me to try and enjoy sharing, and as of today two local community grocery markets have displays of my Day Hiking guidebooks, note cards, and matted-ready-to-frame prints. I hope you are able to drop by the Farmhouse Market or Ridge Supermarket to have a peek. Have fun checking out my goods and let me know what you think! As always, feel free to mention if there is something new you'd like to see - I'm a flexible kind of guy!

Fun visiting a grocery store

OK, so I might not be the most excited person in the world to head off to take a tour of a grocery store. But that is exactly what I did a few days ago, and I even took a tour group that consisted of my visiting parents along with me! Just over a month ago a newly renovated and enhanced supermarket opened up on Snoqualmie Ridge, The Ridge Supermarket. Owner Tyler Myers has done a wonderful job getting this store up and going for the ever growing population of Snoqualmie Ridge to have in their community. We worked together last fall to get local Snoqualmie Valley image work built in as part of the signage in the store and thus it was my turn to "show it off" a bit to my parents over the New Year holiday! We hope to bring updates to the signage with photos of local community events and people in the store as 2009 passes. So check back later this year to see what surprises might be waiting at The Ridge Supermarket. For now, my Mom really loved the one of the old Snoqualmie Schoolhouse a lot, but in true fashion she also stated, "But I really enjoyed them all!".
