"Head to Toe"
 I'm a very literal kinda person. The entries in this month's show demonstrated a wide interpretation of the theme - ranging from heads of cabbage and other vegetables to in-depth psychological makeovers, but as I said, I'm pretty literal. So when I heard about the "Head to Toe" theme (late last year walking around Philadelphia) and came upon this tattoo shop window, well, it just seemed like a natural. She's quite large - framed at 31 x 23 inches in one inch matte black wood. She's got a nice white mat around her and looks rather stunning on the wall...but far better in person, so I hope you can come to the reception! She won me another Merit Award too!
Another of my entries for the Head to Toe theme is On Broadway, shot, I must  confess, with my little Canon Point and Shoot from a store window across the street. This one was in New York at dusk. I found it fascinating to look in on all the different lives visible, especially the dancers rehearsing on the first floor. The image is about 8 x 14", matted with a large, thick white mat and framed in a matte black 16 x 24" frame.
 My 'small entry', Window Dressing [right],
seems to bridge the two above. Shot in Mexico City, it's the facade of a zócolo building housing costume and tattoo shops. Processed in black and white, it's in a silver 9 x 11" frame, matted in white with a black border and can be hung or stood up on a shelf.
The reception for the Head to Toe show is on Thursday, September 13 from 5:30 - 7pm at 3489 Sacramento Street, San Francisco. The show runs until Saturday, October 6.
Attraction to Abstractions
As I mentioned last month, I had two pieces chosen by the Expressions Galley in Berkeley for their show, Attraction to Abstraction. The opening was last night and the show runs until November 9. Here's a shot of the reception with both my photographs visible in the middle (the two lower ones in the center of the photograph]. 
The Expressions Gallery is at 2035 Ashby Avenue, Berkeley in the heart of the Berkeley Arts District. (They also have poetry readings on Friday nights and other entertainment - check their website for details.)
