Exhibit: ninety-three at Hot Shops
I'll be unveiling ninety-three with a small show in May 2010 at the Hot Shops Art Center in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The opening will be part of Hot Shops' open house weekend.
This has been a long time coming and I'm excited for an opportunity to get more of the project out for people to see. I'm still not sure how much of the series will ultimately end up on display at this point, but there will definitely be quite a few images that haven't been seen yet.
To receive updates and a reminder about the show, become a fan on Facebook.
The above image is Mullen, Hooker County. Hooker had the smallest population in the state when they assigned counties numbers for license plates. Outside of the town of Mullen, there's roughly 1 person for every two and a half square miles in the county.
Image: Lyons, Burt County (alt.)
This image is from ninety-three, one of the many that I love but will probably not find their way into the final series. The fence(s) were set up in downtown Lyons, a small town a half hour or so north of Fremont, Nebraska.
I'm currently putting together another project to go along with the yet untitled series documenting the areas surrounding where my parents and grandparents grew up in Iowa and Nebraska. Both are moving along well, still evolving. I hope to get a chance to exhibit at some point in the near future with the Metro Photo Club and unveil something new.
