After a year in the works, Expanding Vision: The Contribution of Mobile Photography, the exhibition I proposed and helped jury, is opening in the main gallery of The Arts Center with a reception tonight. Join us from 5:30 to 7:30 for some art and light refreshments.

I’m so excited for a gallery full of people, seeing this work, and talking about mobile photography. I look forward to meeting some of the participating artists who are exploring this branch of photography I love so much.

The exhibition contains everything from straight, unedited photographs, to highly edited abstract works. If you can’t attend the exhibition, you can view the show virtually via the slide show here.

It’s been a great experience for me, to see how an exhibition happens from the inside out. I’ll write more about my experiences there later.

For now, I’m going to enjoy the interactions at the reception and the art on the wall. And I’m going to take this moment and seal this lesson into my memory: Our ideas, big or small, can become something real, when we put them out into the world and act on them.

I hope to see you at the Expanding Vision reception tonight.
