Darkroom Day 28 and Doiron Gallery


The boys continued to hang the crown moulding yesterday and the room looks absolutely AMAIYZING, as Heull Howser would say! Countertops arrived yesterday as scheduled and I believe they are going to start putting those up too.

Last night I received an email from Joyce, the owner of The Doiron Gallery, which opened in 1997. She was the one I went to in 2001 with matted and framed photos in hand, to talk with her and obtain input on 'presentation', as I was venturing out for the first time with my photos. I'll never forget what she said that hot afternoon in 2001 when I showed her my photos, "Well, I can tell you that I want these in the gallery now! They're beautiful!" That was my induction so-to-speak into the art world. I was lucky and grateful to have my photography on display for about 3 years in her gallery.

So getting back to her email I received last night, she stated she is finally retiring (I believe for the second time), and the gallery is having its' 'Last Hoorah!'. She was inviting me to hang a couple of photos for her final event. Of course I told her I would be honored and delighted to share in her final event. I thought I would post one of my earliest and most requested photo today. I used to put it on my business cards also!
