I'm very excited. Nervous, too, but mostly excited. Some of my photographs are making their way into the public realm. More public than my blog, and more real, in a way, than my blog. Sixteen of my nature prints will be on exhibit at the Athens Public Library for the month of August. It's one of those many things that simmered on my "to do" list for a long time, and it finally broke forth and got out into the world. The process has been interesting, and the most rewarding part up to this point is actually seeing these images in print. I like looking at them on my computer screen, and favorites will stay with me for days or weeks as my computer desktop background, but seeing them actually out there is - wow! Then I started to group them together - they might even be better as a collection than they are alone! No hubris is intended here - it's just that realization you have of seeing something of yours in a whole new light and thinking, "Hey, I did that!"
Mocking up the photo layout in the living room. Soon I'll have a space of my own for doing such projects, but that's news for another post...

I have to give a big thank you to my hubby Dave, who not only helped me hang the prints, but also put up with me being somewhat self-absorbed over the last few days as I scrambled to get all the little details finalized. Thanks for all your support, sweetie. I couldn't have done this without you!

If any of you are in or around Athens during the month of August, I hope can stop by to see it!
"Hey, I did that!"
