The Faculty Exhibition at the Concordia Gallery

The 2023 Art and Design Faculty Exhibition opened last week at the Concordia Gallery. I snapped a few photos with my phone before it was busy:

My 2 larger prints to the right, and 9 smaller prints on the far wall.

Here are few pics of some of the corners of the gallery - I didn't take any photos in the Teaching Gallery, but there's more work in there as well:

I'll take some "real" photos with my "real" camera in the upcoming week or 2, so stop back to see better images that you can enlarge.

Tomorrow Night!

Here's the poster for the Faculty Exhibition that opens tomorrow night:

You can find a little more info in this post, but stop on by to the reception: Thursday, November 16, 5 – 7 p.m., at the Concordia Gallery (301 Marshall Ave, St. Paul, MN 55104).

... but this happened instead:

I can't be certain, but that appears to be a Hasselblad, so I feel a little bad for smirking.

(Oh yes... and I hope he's OK too... but we all know we worry more about our cameras than our own well-being in situations like this.)

Upcoming Faculty Exhibition

The Concordia Gallery website currently looks like this:

That's one of my 4 a.m. photos from the MN State Fair last year. I hope to be showing a few of those in this exhibition. Here's the exhibition page with my image larger:

Successfully Processing Film

Last week, I posted about handing out 35mm cameras to my Photo I students. Today, we processed film! We had a 100% success rate for these students processing film for the first time. 🎉📷❤️

I love it when the "drying sink" is overflowing!

Passing Out 35mm Cameras

My students are currently shooting a project on 35mm film. So I came to class like this last week ready to hand out cameras to everyone:

Ten cameras. What's extra funny is that I'm wearing the
same shirt as when I handed out cameras last semester.


Wrapping up notes that day in class.

Happy shooting, class!
