What a wild weekend it's been! Just finished my first-ever public photo exhibit as part of Olympia's spring Arts Walk, in which downtown businesses provide an opportunity for local artists to showcase their work.
My deepest appreciation to Dean and Carla Jones of Encore Chocolates & Teas for offering to sponsor my art, and then, working with my loving wife Linda to help design and set up the exhibit. It was a fun team effort made all the more enjoyable by the wonderful chocolates and teas we consumed in the process.
Thank you to all my friends who showed up to support and encourage me, to those who weren't able to attend but sent me their best wishes, and to the many visitors who stopped by to look at my photographs. I had a wonderful time talking with folks of all ages who were kind enough to share their impressions, talk about their own experiences with wildlife or learn more about photography. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to talk to everyone.
A really popular part of my exhibit was a 5-minute video slide show of wildlife images. For those who weren't able to attend Arts Walk and for those who would like another chance to watch it, I've posted it here on my website. Just click here or go to the Portfolio page and look for Olympia Arts Walk Slideshow 2014. There is a soundtrack, so make sure you have your sound turned on if you want that part of the experience.
