First off, I would like to apologize to those of you who subscribe to the blog via email. I recently updated my wordpress software and my last post was re-sent, which means some of you got it twice and it was for an event that was days ago. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I’d like to take a moment to focus on two very different photography related topics.
First off, for those of you who (like me) are fans of photography, make sure you visit the new show at Wall Space Gallery. We began the last Art Crawl at Wall Space, but the show has changed since then. As the ONLY gallery in town to focus exclusively on photography, this is the place to see the best local and national photographers. The current show focuses on the later. Thanks largely to the Brooks Institute, this town is full of great photographers, so those that stand out in this crowd are really something special. Announcement below.

Secondly, for all those great photographers I just mentioned, an inquiry for submission just landed in my inbox. So, I thought I would pass it along. Submission details are below. Good luck!
