I will be exhibiting a dozen or so of my photographs from the past year at the Acme Building, home of Wicker Park Grace, which is an emergent faith community led by my friend Nanette Sawyer.  The opening will be part of a fundraiser event for WPG called Rent Party: A Skiffle of Sorts.  See more info on WPG's site here.

I've been scrambling around this week getting prints made, finding frames that will fit 8x12s (difficult to find this size), narrowing down my choices for the exhibit, getting this website up (I basically put it together in the past 24 hours), designing interim business cards, etc.  I really like how the finished framed photos look, and can't wait to see them on the walls.  Two of them will be donated to the silent auction that night, and the rest will be on display for a month or so and will also be for sale.  I've had lots of help from friends on picking photos, so I'm really grateful for that.  This is my first exhibit, and while it's exciting, I have to admit I feel a bit out of my element.  It's all great experience, though. 

Here's the 411 on the event:
