Full Version: First exhibit
I found out on Saturday that I've had a photo accepted for my first exhibit! One of the galleries here in Chico is doing an exhibit as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of Bidwell Park, the city park in Chico. They requested all the local photographers to submit images of the park, and a group of artists picked the photos for the exhibit from those submissions. My image of the Bidwell Park Tree (see my post in the Random Images forum) was selected for the exhibit!
It's the Coates blood. It makes us GOOD at what we do 
(Okay, cocky moment over)
WooHoo... that's great Greg. I loved loved loved the mood of that picture!

Congratulations Greg!
Thanks, guys. It's been an exciting month photographically for me. In addition to the upcoming exhibit, I found out that the local community college has an awesome photography program. So, I signed up for a photo studio arts class. It turns out that this class teaches commercial photography techniques and includes a lot of details about the business side of photography. We'll also be learning to use a 4x5 view camera, which is something that I've been wanting to do for a very long time. Once we learn the camera, we can even check it out and use it for projects over the weekends. I hope to have a bunch of 4x5 transparencies by the end of the year!

Great to hear Greg!! I love that shot of the tree in the park! Let us know how it all goes.
Thanks, Jefferson!
Denise, I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm not on campus much...just for the one class.

Well it's late but congrats! I loved that shot! And the other ones you posted were really cool too! Maybe this will be your foot in the door and you'll get to do a full series!

Oh my gosh! What a small world it is. Now there are 3 of us from Chico on this forum? That is too awesome. Congrats on your photo! Where are they going to be displayed? I can't wait to see them all.

For those who asked, the exhibit will be at the Gallerie de Souza (on 3rd Street in downtown Chico), and it opens on September 25 and runs for about a month.
