Happy to Share!!

Thanks to the great response at the Africa Show Reception Sunday, March 16, I have been asked to present my "Travel Journal" photography to the parents and kids from Brooks Middle School and from a school in Little Village. The kids are in an intergenerational photo/essay program meeting at the Oak Park Library in early April to discuss their various projects. I am hoping to offer some inspiration through my travel slideshow and some Q&A after.

The Oak Park Camera Club has also asked me to partake in a slideshow /Q&A session on April 14th at the Oak Park Library. I will be more than happy to share any of my travel experiences/technical photography questions with them!
Thanks for the opportunities, everyone! Photography is awesome! I am so glad that there are so many interested artists and photography appreciators out there!

Great turnout for the "Africa" show Sunday!

Thanks to everyone for their support on my "Essence of Africa" exhibit at the Oak Park Library Gallery. I have heard from a lot of people that have meandered through the gallery, and I really appreciate the feedback. Sunday (March 16) we had a great time hangin out at the "reception" and viewed the slideshow of my travels over the last five years in an adjacent meeting room. I really enjoyed putting that together, and it seemed most of the guests liked kicking back on a Sunday afternoon checking out some images and listening to music. A great article was written about the show in the Pioneer Press (Oak Leaves) this last Wednesday, March 19. Check it out!.
Thanks again for your support!

A Successful Kids with Cameras!

It was awesome, on Saturday, to see the kid's expressions when they saw their art work on the walls of our front gallery. That was the part I was most anxious to experience and it was priceless!
The donations were a flyin as the "SOLD" stickers colored the walls bringing more money to the cause! I am so proud of these kids. They really seemed to enjoy the project and I am so excited to host it again next year! Thank you students...thanks for the great fun and experience!
