We will meet at the GVM Deli to take down our October exhibits on Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I will meet Magaret to assist her in any way to retrieve her photos.

October is our month to exhibit at the Country Grocer, and as previously published, Margaret Benmore had requested the whole show for her images, she is scheduled to do that. I have planned to do the hanging on Sunday , September 30, 2012 at 7:00 PM and will be there to assist, as always.  

I had planned a trip to the raptor center for interested members but unexpected events have prevented me from doing this. I also noted that some members that had shown an interest have gone on their own anyway. Visiting the center is very simple and there is no actual "special benefit" to a "group" visit other than the wonderful camaraderie we have with each other, but I encourage anyone who wants to visit there to just do so. If I get a chance I will go, and communicate that with a blog,…

My secret tonight in getting two shots in our site was to put the first one in about 5 minutes to midnight and the second one in about 5 minutes after. I still need to witness someone do it the other way.

Tomorrow should be another day for photo ops in the harbor - don't miss it!

Here is the time schedule for the Two Wings Exhibition at Gallery 8.

Opening reception at the Gallery in Grace Point from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM tonight.

It is a mix of creative expression from Gallery 8 artists and their companions.

Hope to see you there!

All are invited to the Gallery 8 "Two Wings Exhibition"opening reception on Friday, August 31, 2012.

Their opening stataement is "Often creative partners have a profound influence on each other's work and the public rarely has the opportunity to experience this. We have asked that each of the gallery artists and their partners produce a collaboratrive piece bringing together their two solitudes. This is a challenging undertaking, to say the least, but could produce some amazing…

Friday August 31 at 7:000 PM is the time I have scheduled to take down the images that we have there. Since I have another commitment I have managed to contact Anna who will handle the removal. Elehna had contacted me because her group is going to hang their show as soon as we remove ours. Anna had already contacted Elehna and arrangements will be going forth as planned and I expect it will be a smooth transition.  

I think we had a good showing and I got a number of complements on…

Well my panic over losing my hotmail has subsided and they have restored it in its entirety.

It is now back to  gykelly2@hotmail.com for anyone to use.

My long time hotmail address has been compromised. Microsoft is working to correct the poblem but I have an additional e-mail addres that I invite anyone to use. My new e-mail address is gykelly2@gmail.com

Well the first request I made had disappointing results - so lets try something else!

Anyone interested in going on a photo shoot to the raptor center this summer please e-mail me and let me know when you will be available to attend. Once I  get a list of interested persons and available dates then I can begin to formulate a plan. (Even if its just me and one other person). I think it should be before November. 

Thank You!

We are scheduled to show our images at Country Grocer in the Month of August. Anna McColm has requested to show three images so there are still spaces for three more. Please let me know of others that are interested.The hanging will be done on Tuesday evening the 31st of July at 7:00 PM. 

I am tyring to organize  photo shoot at the Raptor center in Duncan. WIll the interested parties either mail or contact me throught our site here so I can start. Hopefull it will be within the next two weeks so I really need to have some names. Details will follow shortly but week days or weekends will be an important factor.

Mr. Benson has confirmed our Sunday Photo Shoot of his Mini Train Display. The times will be the same as last week - meet at Moby's parking lot at 12:30 PM and then proceed to is facility. Car pooling would probably make things more convenient, and will the people who are still interested e-mail me to re-confirm their presence. I need to let Mr. Benson know about how many to expect as his wife has offered to provise "refeshments".

As stated last week - if you don't have a…

I am arranging for our Mini Train shoot to be on next Sunday - Canada Day _ at the suggestion of the train proprietor and feedback from some of our members. Please wtach these  blogs for confirmation.

Mr. Benson has just contacted me to request a postponement of our shoot tomorrow beause of predicted inclement weather. He suggests that we postpone to next weekend. I am okay with that right now but that is July1 - Canada Day and I need to know how the remainder of the shoot members feel. Perhaps we can postpone to a futre Sunday? - maybe two weeks??

I just received confirmation from Phillip Benson for our mini railroad shoot on Sunday. He also added that the washroom is in his home and that his wife would be providing "refreshments". I think that inclement weather would not be too much of a challenge so we should be prepared to go in in any event.

The people I have listed to go are:

Rachel Page

Patty Page

Avril

Ernie Westlund and Spouse

Heather Webb

Spouses/companions are welcome…

I am just recovering from a gigantic computer glitch and scam with the help pf MSN. If anyone received an unusual e-mail from me during that time please disregard. I did correspond with a few of you about photo shoots- but - again - if any of the information you received from me is weird - that's not me.

Our newest opportunity to go to a shoot here on the island at a very unique and easy to access site.

Mr. Philllip Benson, the creator of this site has kindly offered us, fee free, an opprtunity to photo his unique model train layout. His trains go from an inside display to a very creative outdoor environment and should be very photographable and offer some unusual shooting. We can go almost any time - but he thinks that maybe Sundays would be better beause his display is open six days…

Now that the weather is getting a little better I would like to re-establish a list of interested persons to go off-island to Duncan to the Raptor center for a shoot. PLease e-mail me your name and preference of times - week days or weekends. Projecting ahead - this weekend is Father's day not a good time for me),next weekend is Velo Village time, the weekend after that will be Canada DAy with the 4th of July to follow so I think we will be looking a time after the 4th of July  so please…

It is our turn again at the Country Grocer Deli and ANna McColm has asked for three of the available spots so we now have three left. Please let me know as soon as you can and if anyone has any questions about protocol please e-mail me also.We usually hang our images on the night before the first of the month at about  7:00 PM.
