VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Preparations for my first solo photography exhibit (starting September 15th at Casa Romantica in San Clemente, CA) continue moving forward. I've finally picked out all of the prints I plan to show and I have the files ready for my printing house to get started.
This step of the process was difficult for a fella like myself who can't even decide what he wants for dinner half the time. Which photos to display, what sizes to make them, what framing styles to do...it's a whole lot of "well that would look good. But so would that. Oh and that too. But which one is best? Shit... Well, I guess I'll just commit to this decision for 8-10 hours and then completely doubt everything about myself before changing my mind."
29 photographs. That's how many I'll be displaying at this exhibit. 4 will be C-Type prints on Fuji Crystal Archive paper while the remaining 25 will be pigment prints on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. A got a couple of different framing styles to work with, too.
Despite the tediousness and indecision of this step of the process, I'm f'ing stoked ("he's from California, you say?") to be doing this. My excitement is building big time. Not only for opening night of my first solo photography exhibit, but for that deep satisfaction I know will wash over me upon seeing all my prints framed up. Because truly...there is nothing more rewarding in photography than seeing your images in print hanging on the wall.
