Some of the best things in life were brought together on September 8, 2012: art, music, warm weather, wine and cheese and socializing with good people.
I put together a collection of thirteen photographs centred on the theme of water in landscapes. The images were drawn from my travels in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Israel. In keeping with a pattern I started at my last landscape show which I called Rock+Sky+Euphoria, I called this show Waves~Flow~Elation.
The title reflects my realization that the natural world — in this case waves and the general flow of water — leads to a psychological reaction — in this case elation. You can see the photographs near the bottom of this (lengthy) post.
The evening was anchored with an outdoor concert by the very talented Chloe Albert and Leslie Pelletier, both Edmonton-based singer-songwriters.
Many thanks are in order to:
Everyone who showed up and contributed to such a great vibe.
Mel of Soul Strength Yoga & Fitness (http://www.soulstrength.ca) for spearheading the concept, for space, logistics and for helping to underwrite the evening. The night would not have happened without you.
Chloe Albert (http://chloealbert.com) and Leslie Pelletier (http://www.reverbnation.com/lesleypelletier) for their wonderful musical talents.
Erin Clyde for logistical support and overall encouragement.
Maria Ospina for logistical support.
Thomas O’hara (http://www.thomasoharaphoto.com) for taking photos of the concert (see below).
All of the others who I am undoubtedly but unintentionally overlooking who helped to make the evening a success.
Thank you all very much! I look forward to the next one.
This is what the evening looked like.
