The Exhibit
The opening to my exhibit, part of Wicker Park Grace's Rent Party fundraiser, went splendidly. I was surprised by so many of my friends who showed up, and my brother brought a contingent from his church. Both my donations to the silent auction sold, as well as 4 of the 12 pieces hanging on the wall, and I have orders for 3 more. Lots of people showed up for the fundraiser as well, so all in all it was a good night. I'm still recuperating today. I just woke up from a 3 hour nap, which I needed quite badly.
Thanks to everyone who showed up, and for everyone else who helped me select photos for the exhibit or gave words of support and encouragement. Special thanks to the Shutter Sisters community who have pushed me to be a better photographer. All but one one of the selections for my exhibit were photos taken AFTER I joined the Sisterhood, and I think that says a lot. And thanks to my local PhotoPeeps Justin and Yvonne for sharing their thoughts, time and equipment.

I am so proud of you! Congratulations on your exhibit. May this be the first of many successes to come.
Thanks, Stephanie! Being part of Shutter Sisters has been invaluable in pushing me out of my comfort zone.
oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!
i am so proud of you!

sarah, your photos are ALIVE> ya know, nothing is still in them, nothing stagnant, like life, like the life we WANT to believe we all live (and that we do just sometimes we don't realize it). i love it. nothing is phoney or contrived or TRIED to make beautiful. i hate that, i hate it.
love you
