Twinkley Lights Jan 2/09 #15-#13

Jan 2 #15 - #13

Surprisingly constellation-like while still maintaining some of the characteristics of the crab apple images.  Wife Sally says that they look like that phosphorescent seaweed stuff, and she maintains that this is a technical term.  I think we are both right, which is the joy of abstracted images.

Trees with Holiday Lights (Jan 2 #5-#62)

Art Exhibit - The Independent - Calhoun Square 2nd Floor

Exhibit at the Independent 

January 12 - February 9, 2009

Calhoun Square - 2nd Floor

Reception (all are invited) Sunday 1/25 7:00-9:00pm

I am very excited to be showing new photographs at the Independent Restaurant/Bar in uptown, Mpls, MN. The Independent uses their event room as gallery space and is a beautiful space to show work.  I love the blood red walls which look quite nice with the crab apple photographs.

I am titling this exhibit Diptychs.  One of my favorite words.  I am pairing photographs of trees found along the highways and city streets of Minneapolis and Chicago to invite a closer examination of urban nature.

The is a reception on Sunday 1/25 at 7:00pm for everyone who can make it.  There will be free appetizers and drink specials.  The food there is really good, so stopping by is definitely a good idea for those who sometimes get hungry.  Plus all who attend will receive a small metallic print from the show as a little thank you for coming by.  See you then!

I believe the future is less bleak than this, but these are the images that were in front of me that day. Cheers!
