I have three shows at once, in three cities (well nearby cities) for the first time now!
I joined a local Photography club for the first time, and I have two canvases in their show at the East Greenbush library.
I have a show up at Uncommon Grounds in Albany (25 canvases)
I have a show up at Starbucks in Niskayuna (about 7 photos, including 3 regular framed photos for the first time)
Not that these seem to amount to anything in sales, but I have 52 canvases now! And in order to sell off the wall (I can't sell the canvases, because I have them made as samples to save money), I'm now focusing on building up a set of reuglar framed photos to show.
Here's some snaps (and I do mean *snaps* of the show). (I recommend anyone displaying take snaps like these for insurance purposes and just to remember what you hung!)
Uncommon Grounds in Albany (near SUNY)...
Starbucks (Niskayuna) [sorry, used my TZ3, bad indoor pics!]
(my previous shows at Starbucks, I put more photos up, but they have a new hanging system and I decided to go sparse).
I haven't seen the group show I'm in in East Greenbush yet, since I didn't have to hang it. I plan to go in the next week or so.
Here's the show I just took down though...I was up for two months in the local reform synagogue in Nisky. They had a nice reception too, but I didn't take pics.
I had 28 pics up I believe...
And a nice "local" section with my Schenectady pics:
Just wanted to share my excitement! Happy to hear comments and suggestions.

Go Neil! Too bad you live so far away, or I would come out and check out the shows.

| Are you making any money from all these shows? I remember you mentioned some other exhibits before. Is this a viable business or more a way to find a new audience? |

Not much...not yet. But the shows don't cost me anything except the time to hang them and take them down. And with 52 canvases and growing, I need somewhere to put them! :)
But I am guessing having a local presence for display is better than none at all. They are well received, but fairly expensive purchases...I sell the 16x24 canvases for $350. Maybe the second or third time someone sees it they'll decide to do something about it. And I don't know how many take my card (I should count what I put out) and maybe visit my website.

| Neil, smiling wide here - what an amazing achievement and well deserved. Congratulations on having three going at once. It's an excellent idea as I think many photographers have terabytes machines and the like of their work but no physical items (canvas or otherwise) to show. I wish you great success. |

Congrats Neil. I know what it's like to have images going everywhere to be shown...it's like sending your kids off to school for the first time...nerve wracking...but such a proud feeling.

Grand news, Neil. What you're doing is getting your name and your work out there.
There's something about seeing a familiar name along with good photography. Eventually,
something will click, and folks (buyers) will come knocking at your door.
