Black and White on Metallic Paper

I ordered my paper products and other supplies from Freestyle Photographic Supplies on Friday.  They should be arriving either today or tomorrow!  I've been thinking about which images I'll try first on the bamboo papers:  trees!  Some of the ones from Point Lobos would be great as they are in a misty setting.

I worked at High Hand Gallery on Thursday and Saturday, and then spent Sunday cutting mats and framing three new pieces that I had to deliver yesterday by 5:00!  I got there around 3:00 p.m.  Whew!  And while I was there removing some of my pieces, some folks were looking at my photography.  I spoke with them and explained some of the processes and the papers.  The guy already had one print in is hand, and they ended up buying it!!  Nice!  Last month was one of my best months at High Hand.

In regards to the Art Deco Show at the Blue Line, the results will be announced on this Friday.  My next outing will be the Arts in the Park in Auburn on May 18th, which means loading up the panels and table and framed images.  It's just a one day gig - I don't think I could do a two-day one!  Then of course, the Artful Bra Show on the 25th.  I will be going in on Wednesday and Thursday to photograph the entries and start working on the bid sheets, etc.  May's a busy month to say the least!    

Today is kind of a down day - no running around to do, so I'll be printing the black and white images out that I took last week for the 30th Jubilee project so I can give them to my artist friend who will incorporate them into her painting for that show.  I need to come up with one more image for the KVIE Art Auction.  That deadline is May 19th.

Here is one of the images I took into High Hand Gallery.  It's called Trinaczia (which I couldn't find a translation for, so I'm thinking it was a family name).  It is the front of a restaurant in Taormina, Sicily in black and white (digital) and printed on metallic paper.
