In some bout of amazing improbability I can now post in the shows forum.

Im having my first photography show (well first any show for that matter).
Its at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden (www.umlaufsculpture.org) from Jan 6 - Feb 26, 2006. With a lecture on wednesday Feb 1. Where I will attempt to publically speak and explain myself :smile: (it should make for a good laugh if nothing else youll see some humor)
Thought I would make an announcement... and its not meant to come across as bragadocious. Im just excited to get some of my work out there and hopefully get some input and opinions.
The work being shown is from within the Garden. Ive been working on a project of photographing within some of the wonderful parks located within AUstin. I came across the Umlauf sculpture Garden about 8months ago and have been photographing in there quite a bit since then. It came up in conversation between me and the curator one day (she was interested in my "weird old camera") and low and behold a few months later here I am with a show there.
It will likely be between around +/- 15 prints, 5x7s, 8x10s, 7x17s - all platinum/palladium contact prints.

So if you happen to be around the area sometime in that timeframe take a stop by. Or if you happen to live in the area come to the lecture and drink some wine and we can talk some.

Here is some more info on the show from my website.

Congratulations Matt!!! I'm looking forward to hearing about more of your experiences with your first show. I hope you sell a whole bunch of prints, or at the very least, get invited to show in other galleries.

Congrats Matt !!! After seeing some of your work here on APUG I am sure the show will be a great success. It is great to get your work out there and get the exposure.

Classes don't begin until the middle of January so I hope you've reserved a spot on your couch for me one weekend... I'll get in touch with you when I get back from Japan and we can make some plans.

If nothing else I'll be driving down just to see the show! Congrats!!!

Matt,

Surely, you jest. Your work is wonderful. All along, I quite naturally assumed that you....eh, well, you know....that you were...ah, the devil take it.

Anyway, Congrats! I hope to be able to attend (plenty of advanced notice).

Brad.
