Yesterday was an exciting evening at the opening of my very first photography exhibit. I snapped the photo above towards the end of the show, after the crowds had cleared out, but most of the evening the hall was so packed that it was hard to weave your way through. Plenty of friends stopped by and my friend, Kate, and my mother even came all the way down from Orcas to see it. I felt so lucky to have so many people come and support me.
The class show was the culmination of the University of Washington’s Photography Certificate Program. UW’s program was the thing that got me serious about photography, and it was great to look at the walls and see how far everybody had come over the course of the year. Now that the program is over, I really miss seeing all those Certificate folk twice a week.
You can still stop by and see the show. It is up until August 27th in the hall on the way to UW Hospital’s Healing Garden, directly to the right of the Information desk. Here’s my favorite picture that I exhibited, just to give you a little preview:
