Art Exhibition Next Week

Hello everyone,

There is an art show next Wednesday in the library at Roger Williams to benefit Haiti Relief, and two of my prints are in it!
There are also a ton of very talented professional artists who have donated their work.
I can't wait to go see it. It will be very exciting to see my photos on display somewhere besides a critique wall :) I wonder if someone will buy them... Hope so! (I don't make money either way, it all goes to Haiti)
Today I found the link to the official site and saw my pictures on it!

So, thats exciting.

In other news, we had our crit Wednesday, and some photos were better liked than others.

Everyone really liked the flour and fluff photo of course. And thank god because it is my Favorite! :)

In fact, they liked all of my portraits except that the faces was too edited. Murray said that just having her making the faces was enough for him, and I thought of making a strip of pictures like those you get at a photobooth.
This is how it came out. I prefer it, personally, as I have never been big on blatant photoshopping either.

The candle lighting in the thunderstorm picture was liked which is awesome. I'm really glad. It was kind of a wildcard. I like it but I was not sure what the response to it would be.


I brought the nola collage to class as a collage, but the edges were cut sloppy and they said it didn't fit with the other pictures and wasn't professional. But, that it would be "Hip" as a picture of the collage with a lot of white space. So I tried this out. I'm still working on it because I haven't been able to get rid of the gray box around the fleur de lis yet, but hopefully I will have that fixed Monday. Murray says he will show me how to fix it in Photoshop.
