I just had a call from the local hospital asking if I would be willing to display 6 works in November. Basically they choose a local photographer each month and invite them to display 6 photos in the hospital lobby.

I am absolutely floored!!!

:D:D:D

Dare you to submit 6 really good and dramatic photos from a grave yard first just to see what they say.

But congrats. Always nice to have someone pick your work for something.

Well I guess there IS one in every crowd :lol:

Yeah printing, framing, etc. Good news is I print on my own Pixma 9500 so that helps with printing costs and I own a custom cabinet shop so I build the frames I use in house.
Still not free but I do not pay directly for the frames or the printing supplies so in some twisted way I don't feel as bad!

Actually my purchaser was quick to point out the cost associated with this "honor".

Congrats on the great opportunity!

How did they find you? Are they requesting a specific theme or subject matter?

A friend of a friend suggested the lady responsible check out some of my work. It is a small town so I am sure that helped as well. Not a lot of specifics. No theme or subject matter, no size requirements. When I asked she said they typically had various size works hanging. I am going to take a field trip in the next week or two and check our what is currently there. Originally she offered October but I requested Nov. I have a couple of potential fall photos in mind so that will give me Sept and Oct to get the photos.
