In Berlin

My photography exhibit, titled “In Berlin”, is now on at the Kitchener Public Library. My proposal was accepted about a year ago so I’m quite happy that it’s finally up and ready for viewing. There’s been a ton of planning to get everything going including selecting and de-selecting and re-selecting images; deciding on what to print on; getting things printed only to realize the printer kind of didn’t know what they were doing so I had to go elsewhere which was sort of a blessing in disguise; being forced to change my framing; even finding titles for the images took more work than I thought. Everything was worth it because, if I do say so myself, the show looks pretty good.

I’ve done a few solo exhibits in the past, but nothing close to this magnitude. There are 18 images in total, all shot during a trip to Berlin in 2008. I had a difficult time narrowing down what I wanted to show, but recently I’ve been trying to force myself to be critical of my own work and what I actually want to show to the public, so this was good practice for that.

I had some postcards printed for the event and I even got some new personal business cards that just happened to arrive about a week before the show started. The photos will be on display for the whole month. There is a reception at the library on Thursday, October 15 at 7:00pm. Come check it out if you can!
