Facade, from "Inside the Temple Walls"
Baotou, Inner Mongolia, PRC
When the gallery hangs your photographs on the wall, you pretty much have to show up at the opening night reception. My wife and I made the short trip to the Greenhill Center for North Carolina Arts in Greensboro on Friday for the opening. Greenhill is a very nice facility, and the show was expertly hung, the prints were grouped nicely and shown well.
This is the first time I had seen all my photographs together. When you’re making the photographs you aren’t really aware of the scale of the effort. It is one thing to see your photographs at home on the computer screen and then stacked up in the living room. It’s quite another thing to see them in a big gallery all at once. It’s kind of dissociative event. You look at the photographs and say, “Wow. Those are cool.” Then you remember you made them. I celebrated the success, went back to the gallery the next morning and made some photographs of the exhibit and came home.
Time to start the next project.
Click on over to my web site and look for the Light on China link to see the folios and pictures of the exhibit.
Here are a few photographs of what portion of the show looked like.
Congratulations, Joe. Look fantastic.
