Friend of mine in Mississippi is having a gallery showing in August, submissions accepted until July 17th. Pass it on! Info below - Chris Williams www.zoeicaimages.net Hi everyone, I just wanted to touch base with all of you to make sure I personally invited you guys to take part in a gallery show we are producing here in Cleveland. Some of you may already be aware of it. Some of you may not. You can find out a bit more information at this website: http://www.wiljax.com/themeshow/contrast The show opening will be Thursday, August 20th at The Warehouse. It will hang for about a month. The gallery space is quite large, so I'm really excited about the volume of images we are going to be able to display. If you aren't familiar with the space, you can view images at the site above. We are also going to have a media room for the show, where we can project digital creations. So if you have something such as a slideshow or video project that fits the theme of "Contrast", please consider submitting it. My goal with this show is to have a tremendously wide range of styles, techniques, and mediums. Large images, small images. Mixed media, traditional prints, giclee', canvas, glass, --anything and everything. My hope is that when the visitors leave the exhibition, they come out saying, "Wow. I didn't realize photography could be like that." And I want this to be an annual show with a different theme each year. I really hope you will consider submitting. If you have already done so, thank you. We'll be getting back in touch with you very soon. If you haven't, you'll find a submission form online that you can use. Or, you are welcome to email me, call me, text me, twitter me, facebook me, snail mail me, use a tin can, homing pigeon -- whatever works for you. Please don't let the submission process be a reason for you NOT to explore this and take part. If you can't quite narrow your images down, then create a little web page in Photoshop and I'll be happy to help you sort through them. Our deadline is soon though -- July 17th, as we need to start planning the layout of the show several weeks before we hang it. We can also help you with printing and framing if that will make things easier for you. The website has more information about that as well. If you wouldn't mind forwarding this information on to any photographer friends of yours, I would really appreciate it. If you would like for me to take your name off this list, I understand. I apologize for any inconvenience and will not bother you about this again. Just let me know by responding to this and I'll take a care of it. But if you don't mind getting emails, I will be sending more out the next few weeks as a reminder to get us your work! I know how it is being a creative, and sometimes we all need a little prodding to move us along. Finally, I invite you all to come down for the show. We're hoping for a really interesting and creative week, filled with live music and adventures to out of the way places. And hopefully, if we get enough folks to come down, we just might help push each other to discover things about ourselves and our craft that we didn't realize we were capable of doing. Take care. I look forward to hearing from you all. Sincerely, Will Jacks www.wiljax.com <http://www.wiljax.com> 662.846.6800
