civilized ku # 970 ~ an idea

Fog in The Notch ~ West Branch / Au Sable River / Wilmington, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenI drove into Lake Placid early yesterday afternoon with the intention of playing golf. It didn't happen. I arrived at the course in a driving rain, so I switched gears and had a late lunch with the wife who was also in LP for a client meeting.

The silver lining in all of this - not to exclude lunch with the wife - was the picturing opportunity I encountered on the way in to LP. The Notch was socked in with fog. The Au Sable was running high. All-in-all, to my eye and sensibilities, everything was just picture perfect.

I made quite a few pictures and, unintentionally though it was, I resurrected a past picture making venture - man +/-=? nature. FYI, a couple new thoughts regarding and pictures of man +/-=? nature on Monday or Tuesday.

In revisiting the man +/-=? nature series, it occurred to me that I could include a print from the series in the upcoming IMPACT Our Changing Environment exhibit (June,24-July,16 ~ Adirondack Lake Center for the Arts - Blue Mt. Lake, NY). As the result of the acceptance of a single print (Life without the APA into the juried exhibit, I have been invited to place 4 pictures, based on the accepted picture concept, in that exhibit.

While I'm working away creating (fictitious composites) 3 more Life without the APA pictures, it has occurred to me to send for exhibition 1 60"×24" man +/-=? nature picture along with 3 20"×20" Life without the APA pictures. The idea being to hang the 3 Life without the APA pictures in a row directly under the man +/-=? nature picture, in essence, forming 1 60"×44" (or there about, allowing for a very small - 1/2" separation between prints) rectangular display.

In any event, next week I'll be asking the gallery director about my idea.
