Hi Jill
That looks like a good opening - people are interested, animated, discussing the photographs and clearly enjoying themselves.
From what I can see of the exhibits - they look colourful, beautiful and very 'Bruja'.
Best wishes - and I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks Jean. It was a great night with lots of lovely things said about my pictures. When the expo's finished I'll post the pics as a set on my flickr
As for feeling better, poco a poco as they say here
Thanks so much

I know you've been planning this for ages and put a lot of work into it, so I'm gald your talent was recognised. I'll look forward to seeing the set later.
Poco a poco is better than nothing. I hope things continue to improve.

Congratulations, i'd love to be in that situation someday. Going green here
Hope you enjoyed it, looks like everyone else did.
I don't consider myself particularly talented Rich, just lucky to be in the right place at the right time.
Some friends of mine offered me an exhibition at their bar/restaurant Dec 2008 which proved to be popular so I made a book with Blurb. That gave me the confidence to approach the museum last spring to find out how to make a proposal for an exhibition there. I finally got the go ahead in November last year and I guess the next thing I need to do is ask them if there are any other similar places they have contacts with if I want to go further.
So it began with a great slice of luck
Have faith in your photography, show it to people to get their reactions, don't keep it hidden on the computer :nono:
And it's amazing how professional stuff looks in a book
The first one I made was a small 6x8 softback of photographs I took when I stayed with my friend just outside of Paris. She's on a contract out there and I wanted to make a memento for her to remind her of her time there. That got great feedback and gave me more confidence too.
I urge anyone to try it. We have a saying in the NE 'shy bairns get nowt', and it's true
