Although the Art Show doesn't officially start until next week I thought I would post an update. So far the comments I received have been very positive. I am delighted that people are enjoying my photos as much as I do. Besides the positive feedback I have also received some puzzled questions. People that know me have questioned as to why I choose to display photos of a particular individual. They seemed baffled as to why I choose them. I know some will not understand why. As I said before I choose a particular theme and time period in my life I wanted to express. I wanted to convey a story, a message and my philosophy. The titles for each along with the one short story description depict all that I want to say. I don't mind discussing in person but I rather not go into more detail here. It is my hope that viewers will critically think about what I have said and what is displayed before coming to a snap judgment. Most casual viewers will simply take for face value an nothing more.
If you have read some of my previous blogs then maybe you have a sense of what kind of person i am anyway. Possible understand me more than my family ever will. It is a side of myself I have only shown a few people. Not because I am ashamed of who I am but rather that most aren't willing to sit down and really talk. That true open communication where both parties are actively listening and sharing of themselves. I would have these types of philosophical discussions with my dad all the time. It was truly amazing connection we had but I digress. Back to my point.
This isn't just some random photograph collection. It has a purpose even if I am the only one that will truly see and feel it.
