365 Days of beautiful

My 365 Day Photo Project is the gift that keeps giving, so to speak. When I was completing the project I had hopes that I would get repeated use out of my efforts. So far I have. I have framed my favorite prints for display in my bedroom, I have taken a photo and turned it into my cell phone cover, I have created magnets for gifts, and now I am exhibiting a sample of my work in an alumni art show.

Sure, to the casual observer it may not seem like a big deal that I am displaying in the UWGB alumni photography show. However, that would be wrong. This is just another opportunity for me to show off my work and gain more exposure. I'm not looking to take my art to great lengths, but it is nice to open more eyes with it every chance I get.

The theme behind the art show is to show how alumni are changing the world through their photography. My concept is simple. I always wanted to open people's eyes to the beauty that can be found in the ordinary, including myself. This isn't changing the world in the typical fighting for change way, but it is meant to change outlooks, and make people smile. I definitely think that is changing the world. After all, we all do what we can in the ways in which we can.

The alumni art show is going on at UWGB the weekend of October 25th as part of the school's homecoming festivities and celebration of alumni.
