Last year our summer show as called Eclectic Visions. At the debriefing of the show, it was decided to maintain the same name for consistancy and other reasons.

Bob has asked me to assist with public relations. I heard that Li Read wanted to interview art groups on her CFSI morning radio show. Long story short...I will be on her show on Wednesday October 20 between 8 and 8:30 AM. Coffee cup in hand. I want to hightlight the on-going display at Salt Spring Roasting Company and the November showing at Country Grocer. Of course I plan to also talk about the wonderful support system that Bob, Tom and Simon started last year for Salt Spring photographers.

I am just passing on the following information.

"Earth From Above" is the result of the aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's five-year airborne odyssey across six continents. It's a spectacular presentation of large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes. Every stunning aerial photograph tells a story about our changing planet. I did see some photos which I would have cropped. Count the number of places which you have visited.

Being an amatuer, I am not sure if my images are ready for this type of show. Therefore, count me as a maybe at a lower level ($75?). The only public place that I have ever shown my photos is 2009 Fall Fair.

Guess I need to learn what is expected to show: quality, size, how many images?

For sure I will help during the show. I am in Mexico until April 1.

Great Work Bob !!

May this year or 2011?
