My company is hosting and Arts & Crafts Fair today and I'm showing some of my portraits from Cambodia. It's no big deal other than it marks a milestone for me in getting off my ass, spending some cash and getting some of my prints framed.

I'm showing 20 8x10s, about half black & white and color. I hadn't looked at most of these pictures, especially the color shots, in years. But when I heard about this show, I dusted off my photo boxes, pulled out the notebooks and had a look at some of my handiwork.

I had completely forgotten that I had taken slides in Cambodia. I don't even remember looking at them. I probably had them developed, took a cursory look, stuffed them in sheets and locked them in notebook.

Some of them are remarkable. I even surprised myself. It's one thing to hold the slide up to the light and have a look. It's an entirely different feeling to print your photos and look at them professionally framed. I'm anxious to see how people react to them. I doubt I'll sell any, but we'll see. I kind of don't want to because now that I have all these prints framed, I can ask around at my gym and local coffee houses and various other places that hang photos and to try to get a show. That would be something for me. It's one thing to show your photos at a company event where all you have to do is fill out a form and you're in. It would be sweet affirmation however to have someone responsible for booking artists look at my work and decide to give me space.
