I received my framed prints today for the exhibition next weekend...

Such a buzz to see them in such large format for the first time.

Come and see them and me for real next Friday night.

top stuff John, they are looking good from where I stand :up: Definitely like that one on the left - great how it fills the frame with the diagonal composition..something i did not notice on your web copy..

good luck with it and I will see if I can make it next weekend..

Thanks SOOO much gerry, surenj, big v, Rel, wendell

My wife and I are looking forward to the opening night, especially as a few of the models have promised to be there as well... and there are a number of outstanding photographers exhibiting, many of whom I've never met... Live music and a burlesque act... what more could one ask?

It has been a journey, but interestingly, 2 of the exhibited works come from my first two Artistic Nude Shoots...

Many of the early works are still my favourites, but I've tried to choose some old and new ones for the exhibition...

One of these days I'll organise my own exhibition :-) - hard to find the right venue though...
Cheers, John

bumpity bump...

The She exhibition (see above) opens tomorrow night at 8pm... I'd love to see anybody and everybody come along... It'll be worth it for Sarina del Fuego's performance alone...

Hey John, I am gonna try and make an effort to be there, I have a prior fitness engagement beforehand, but should be able to get there, any issues with turning up 1/2 hr late?

nope... burlesque performance will be at about 9:30 and we'll be there until at least 10:30... you might miss out on the food, but otherwise it should still be raging :-) Thanks for making the effort :-)

John,

Good luck tonight with this; I hope that it's a ton of fun for you, and that everybody enjoys your work and the night.

Thanks so much Gary...

It was a lot of fun... watching people pointing out my works, standing in front of them and coming back to them... I just wish I could have electronically bugged each work to hear what they were saying :-)
