Recently the Mitchell Gallery in Annapolis, Maryland accepted one of my photographs for the exhibit “Image and Imagination”. It is a juried show. The exhibit opens May 24 and the show is up until June 12, 2012 . My photograph is titled Cloud Gate — Under the Bean, taken in Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois.
As a working photojournalist, it is always gratifying when one of your images is accepted as art. As a Tom Kennedy, the former Director of Photography at National Geographic said once, “Photojournalism at National Geographic is like the photographer riding a bicycle down a line between art and information. The rider can’t veer too far to one side or the other.” In other words, the resultant photograph has to be understandable, yet not trite.
Come see the exhibit if you are in Annapolis.
Hi Bob, Congrats on your bean photo! Have a great time in China. Looking forward to watching your travel photos! Told Tara I was green with envy and then Tara said you head to Paris after. Lucky ducks ( : The street art walk sounds very inspiring.
Have a great trip! Lisa (Tara’s cousin in San Juan Cap)
