It’s finally happening. This photography exhibit that I haven’t shut up about since June is now becoming a reality. Months of mock-ups, spreadsheets, scanning, printing, and framing…it’s all led to this. I’ve brought you along every step of the way and I ain’t about to ditch you now. In this video I’ll take you through install day and talk about the hard numbers of the whole thing - how much did this project set me back? What am I selling each piece for? And for anyone too far to visit the gallery in person, I even got a little walkthrough to share with ya. Then I’ll wrap it up with a recap of opening night and my final thoughts on the experience. And speaking of that…this has been one hell of an experience for me. It was a lot of work, but I truly enjoyed the entire process. From planning out the gallery walls to high-rez scanning the negatives to installing the artwork, even when it was difficult or stressful I could always feel an underlying cushion of “goddamn this is awesome.” The more years I spend in photography the more I’m realizing how much my passion for printing is the ultimate driving force. I love taking photos, no doubt, but getting a print hung up on the wall…there’s really nothing like it. If you’d like to see my first ever solo photography gallery showing featuring all analog film photography images, be sure to stop in to Casa Romantica Cultural Center & Gardens in San Clemente, CA. The exhibit is titled “American Desert” and is on display until December 17th.
