Title: "Toy Stories" Show opens this weekend- New Orleans
Post by: gary m on February 13, 2008, 10:02:39 PM: Susan has put together a fine show that opens this weekend.

The New Orleans Photo Alliance is located at 111 St. Mary St., New Orleans, LA.

The reception is Feb. 16 from 6-9pm.

If any filmwasters plan on attending, I would love to see some pictures. I cannot make the trip :(

Best of luck on the opening :)

Congrats on all who got in and well done on such an amazing job of curating Susan.

Post by: seekingfocus on February 17, 2008, 06:30:02 PM: Just a couple of snaps from last night's opening... thought the Krappiness of the OneStep would fit with the Toy Stories theme... (hope you weren't expecting shiny digital shots with soft-boxes and tripod.)

Seemed there was quite a decent turnout, and of course lots of great feedback on the work. Many, many positive comments from the patrons. Overall, I'd say it was a great hanging; a nice, cohesive body of work presented, so props once again to Susan for picking it all out. What a job it must have been... I must say I was quite thrilled to see it all there, and it was quite an honor to hang next to such talented photographers! Humbling, truly... really was a great selection of very fine artwork.

Sorry, I don't know most of these people's names, but the last I actually remember (!), was Ms. Bridget Kane (http://www.neworleansphotoalliance.org/exhibitions.php?id=7&img=127) - flown down from Massachusetts for the opening... props to her, and shame on all you others who said 'twas not possible cause of distance! ;)
