Which ten of my photos (check out the Snappity & NYC 2005 albums) would you choose to display in a gallery-like setting? (If you have time for ten, great, if you only want to name one, great too.)
Long version behind the cut.
So, some people From Away are trying to get a little cultcha’ into a storefront near my parents’ studio by selling books and creating a gallery-like space, and they asked if they knew of any photogs that they could display, and my parents suggested me. It’s sort of nepotistic, but whatever, it’s a good opportunity to get some enlargements done, and since the overhead for printing & framing is low (cough, free, cough) what the hell, eh? But I can’t decide which pictures should go up. I have MY favorites, but that’s just me. I’d like to know what the public thinks before I choose any.
The idea is to display enlargements (prob 11×14 or 16×20) and then package up some cards to sell at their (the From Aways) store. Might make a little pocket money, you know? I’ll leave this at the top of the page for a few days, anyway. Feel free to comment or email at snappityATgmail.com
Sounds like a great opportunity Gretchen, you take beautiful photos. I really enjoyed your NYC 2005 folder. Here are my 10 picks, in no order:
Spiderweb
Bangor Public Library
Wildflowers
Peony
Tiny White
Daisy
24. Rock Center
33. 3rd Avenue in Motion
Lions
having trouble picking number 10, but I think I’ll go w/ Met Entrance (debating between 3 or 4 in your NYC folder… They’re all great!)
Good Luck with the exhibit.
Great opportunity Gretch! Here are my faves:
tomatoes
wall@toysrus
crumbs
star
widemouth
lily 2
In fact if you want to trade… 🙂
Sounds like great exposure, here are my faves:
Close up of standpipe
Dad @ Crumple
Spiderweb
Widemouth
Peony
Lily 3
Wall @ Toys R Us
Ball Poppers
Laundromat
Tomatoes
I’d be interested in a trade too!
Gretchen, your pics are awesome!
The ones that grabbed me at first glance were:
Standpipe (the image of almost the whole pipe)
Crumple Island
Widemouth jar w/stems
Poppy 1
Lily 3
Met (with “Photo” in it)
Lollies II
Rock center (hand shot)
Rock center (waterfall shot)
Crumbs III (& coffee)
However, I don’t think there’s much of a theme to my choices, so you might want to go with a theme – like flowers, or colours, or buildings (okay, these are simplistic themes, but you know what I mean).
Also, you might want to check out what kinds of photo cards are already available, and pick pictures of yours that are different.
That’s probably enough unrequested advice from a non-photographer…
Lovely!
Here are my pics, in no particular order:
– Bangor Public Library
– Standpipe (both)
– Waterworks
– Spider
– Beetle
