Opening Night Mari Project: Balloons I

This past Friday evening was opening night for an art show that I am a participant in. Mari Projects is running the show Balloons until the end of March at Playful Grounds on College St. here in Toronto. A nice space and I recommend checking it out. I arrive early to check out the set up and made sure my stuff was hung properly. Three pictures of mine on the wall. I was nervous as all get out. As the night wore on though I relaxed.

I wasn't the only artist. There were three other artists participating as well with abstract paintings on the wall. I was the only photographer though. Still I think if fit with the theme. There was a jazz ensemble, a performance artist, and lots of people coming out to see the show. I enjoyed myself, and met a lot of people.

Opening Night

Okay, some of my posts are a little out of order right now. Somethings are more time sensitive than others. Last Thursday, the 15th, we had our opening night for the Toronto Photo Walks Show. Nineteen photographers, and lots of pictures. I have talked about it previously, and will continue to mention it. If you are in the area, drop by and check it out. It's only up for a limited time (December 6th actually). So here's the group and people.

At the Beacher Cafe: An Exhibtion Opens

Well, not this past Saturday, but the Saturday before. One of my photo walk buddies took the plunge and had a photo exhibition. He was nervous, anxious, and we showed up to lend that needed support. Dave, a.k.a The Lazy Photographer, has been coming out on our walks for 2 years now. He has grown in his photography and it shows. So he showed it. Talking with him during the evening, his biggest problem was picking the best ones.
A lot of people showed up that night, fellow photo walkers, neighbors of his, other friends, old school mates, the works. His pictures are going to be until the end of September. So if you get a chance and are in The Beaches, check out the Beacher Cafe. The photographs are worth it.



Oh, some of the portraits in the middle there? Not taken by me but by lovely lass named Sara. Should e-mail those shots to her.
