Well, if you had asked me how 2024 was for photography a couple of weeks ago, I’d have said “meh”. I’m usually down on my photography when I’m not looking at it or really thinking about it.
But then I thought about it and realized that it was actually a pretty good year. I joined Toronto Focal Forum (http://www.focalforum.ca/) in February, which led to socializing with excellent photographers and taking part in print critiques.
As well, one of my photographs, Vintage Gowns (part of my hopefully-ongoing series Vintage Hamilton) was selected as one of only twelve photos for exhibition in an international competition by Viewpoint Gallery (https://www.viewpointgallery.ca/), a photography gallery in Bedford/Halifax.
My work was also in a couple of shows, in the Scugog Arts Council Annual Juried Exhibition (Port Perry) and The Station Gallery, Whitby, as well as a couple of online shows by the Aird Gallery (https://airdgallery.org/).
So I decided to pick put some of my favourites from 2024 and present them here. As you can see, there is no theme or “look” to my work. There vever has been – more on that in a future post (I found some journaling from the mid-1970s!)
That’s it – thank you for scrolling to the end! Please leave a comment.
