My photo exhibit opened at the Iva Smith Memorial Gallery in Hammond, NY. There was a good turnout, mix of people and friends that I know, and many folks I had never met before. Other artists in various mediums were also showing work in other sections of the gallery. So it was a good mix of people. The work will be on view through the Summer. Gallery hours

Photo Exhibit Preview-Indian River Lakes Conservany

 

Friday evening, July 10, I attended the Indian River Lakes Conservancy meeting at the Iva Smith Gallery in Hammond, NY.  Their event happened 2 days before the opening of my photo exhibit at the gallery. Thus, that group had a preview viewing. It was a great event. Music by violinist / fiddler Kathy Sommers (she has same sound system as me, a Fishman SoloAmp 220.) I spoke about my photos for a few minutes and then mingled with the guests. Real good response to my work.  Today is the official show opening at 5:00. I am still under the weather from whatever head cold or resperitory illness I came down with. The Better Half is currently sick with it and will not attend todays event. 

Photo Exhibit Installation, Sick,

We dropped off photos at gallery on Tuesday

Been very busy and thus very tired. I have a photo exhibit opening Sunday, July 12, 5-7:00pm  at the Tuesday the Better Half n I dropped photos off at the gallery. She was beginning to feel sick. I was beginning to feel better having come down with some respiratory illness a week earlier. Wednesday she was feeling worse and had sore throat. (something I didn't have.) Arrived to hang the photos at 1:30. Finished hanging at 8:30pm. Long day. Made worse by lingering illness. Thursday morning (yesterday) the BH awoke at 5:30am much worse with temperature of 102.3 degrees. By 8:30 her temp went down to 101.3, and got better as day progressed. I spent most of thursday writing titles for the photos. 

Today is Friday. My head still congested. BH still feeling poorly., but better than previous 2 days.
