Ten days!
Just a little over a week remains until the Hot Shops' Spring Open House weekend and the debut of ninety-three that goes along with it. There's a lot going on both Saturday and Sunday, May 1st and 2nd, including many other exhibitions, demonstrations and more. For details, visit the Spring Open House page.
RSVP for the event on Facebook, and don't forget to become a fan while you're at it.
I recently changed up the look of the front page of the website to make everything a little more clear. There will also be an online store to purchase prints and more that will be opening in the next few weeks. The Spring Print Sale prices are still good through April 30th.
Along with the redesign, more of something I've begun working on called An Instance is available for your viewing pleasure. This is just the very beginning of a series that I'm really excited about and one that is a bit of fresh air after working on mostly documentary photographs for the last few years.
Some things I enjoy (and an update)
Jamie Burmeister's Vermin are slowly taking over the earth, one clay limb at a time. Check out vermin.me for more sightings.
And come down to Hot Shops to see Metro Photo Club's latest exhibition, Just After, on display through April 24th.
Hot Shops' spring open house is set for Saturday and Sunday, May 1st and 2nd. I'm readying thirty-six images from ninety-three to go along with everything else they've got going on that weekend. For more information, visit the Spring open house webpage.
Three weeks!
On the way home
Back to Omaha once again after a quick trip up the summit road at Scotts Bluff National Monument. It was a great experience despite the overly gray day that present itself. The view was great, as was the drive up the winding road to the top.
ninety-three is a mere photo or two away from being completely finalized. We're just about a month and a half away from the Hot Shops show.
The above photo is from the scenic overlook at Scotts Bluff National Monument. The line across the middle is the walking path to the summit.
A Sea of Sand (Hills)
I'm fairly certain that the best drive in the state of Nebraska is state highway 27 between Gordon and Ellsworth. Fifty-five miles of winding road, rising and falling through the near-absolute isolation of the sand hills. Just make sure to fill your tank beforehand; There's about 90 miles between gas stations.
The above photograph is from downtown Bayard in the shadow (figuratively) of Chimney Rock.
Also visited: Alliance, Hay Springs, Rushville, Lakeside, Antioch and McGrew.
