Limitations in Your Photography

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.

Art Is Like Masturbation

Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end.
- Colin Wright

It's an interesting take... Yes? No? Overly simplified?

Art Sale THIS WEEKEND

It's late Thursday evening, and I just got done helping set up work for the CVA Holiday Sale.

Here are a few "in progress" photos from tonight of the work going up:


Work in the main gallery


The "nook" as I was nearly finished hanging work


Some work for the silent auction


More silent auction work


Jewelry and knick-knacks


Lots of work to still be hung / sorted


I seriously need to purchase some of these


Some of "the crew" discussing the game-plan at the end of the night


I was given a hilariously small tool-belt-apron-thing
(it was made for a toddler - I could barely fit my head through it...)

There's SERIOUSLY a lot of work that I'd like to purchase! There's a lot of great and INEXPENSIVE art to buy!
