My first exhibition!
Some months ago I submitted some pictures for an upcoming photo exhibit called 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston. It’s a juried show, meaning that you pay the entry fee and a panel of judges determine if your work is worthy enough to be included or not.
For some odd reason I had my dates confused and thought that the notifications were going out on June 13th instead of July 13th. When I failed to receive any communication from the organizers of the event in June I figured I must not have made the grade and was, quite frankly, dissapointed. I cursed the organizers of the event quietly under my breath and swore a terrible revenge before moving on with the day to day obligations of my life.
Imagine my surprise when, as I was checking my e-mail one last time in Seattle before my flight home the other day, I discovered a notification im my inbox that said “Congratulations! Your work has been selected for “600 sq mi”
Well color me pickled tink and consider the oath of retribution retracted, null and void.
The 600 sq mi exhibition will run at MSquared Gallery in the Heights from Sept. 5 to Oct. 7, 2007, with an opening reception Saturday, Sept. 8.
If you want to know which of my photographs was selected you’ll have to come to the show…
Now comes the process of getting the print made of the piece that was selected and then getting it framed and delivered to the gallery.
Yay me!
And congratulations to the other photographers whose work will be featured in the show:

Sure, sure…it’s browses the web, plays music and videos and even makes a half-hearted attempt to be a telephone.
But will it blend?
Gasworks Park
This 20 acre point on Lake Union was cleared in 1906 to construct a plant to manufacture gas from coal – later converted to crude oil. Import of natural gas in the 1950’s made the plant obsolete. The city acquired the site for a park in 1962. The park was opened to the public in 1975. The boiler house has been converted to a picnic shelter with tables, fire grills and an open area. The former exhauster-compressor building, now a children’s play barn, features a maze of brightly painted machinery.

I can think of maybe three people who read this blog that might understand the amusement factor of actually seeing the Edgewater Inn Motel…
