A great Gallery dedicated to emerging  photographers, John Vigg and a team of very talented Resident  Photographers have this eclectic and positive vibe\u00a0 just oozing from the  walls and they are a pleasure to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Now the whole SOLO thing sounded so cool (and it still is) then reality sets in and you wonder <strong>IF<\/strong>,  that dreaded word. WHAT IF my images, WHAT IF&#8230;. you get the drift.  Well let me tell ya you have to answer those questions quickly. I did. I  worked through my library and did a first cut, then a second and a  third before I asked 2 others to review my selected images. One was my  Uncle Sam who was a professional photographer and the other was Nicole &#8211;  my girlfriend. I know what you are thinking and you&#8217;d be wrong, she is  tougher on my work that I am at times and always, ALWAYS gives me honest  feedback. From this there was a 4th cut and viola 45 Images to show.\u00a0  Then the fun began.<\/p>\n<p>Mats, Frames, Backing, and what color mats, how would we mount them  and so on. We did have fun getting this all together and here we are.  Monday just 5 days until the opening and I will be hanging the show  Wednesday this week. What a ride to get\u00a0 to the trail head, Saturday  night April 2nd at 6pm the journey begins. <strong>Nature&#8217;s Palette <\/strong>my  solo show opens for all to see my body of work, talk about feeling  naked. Nervous, excited and I feel like I am at a crossroads to boot. I  can not wait for Saturday!<\/p>\n<p>ndThen we were getting the word out and we still are. Handing out  flyers to every restaurant a business who would accept them and getting a  few posters up here and there. It has been a learning experience and a  damned good one. Regardless of what happens I am so grateful for this  opportunity!<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to be in Monmouth County NJ near Asbury Park drop in to 658 Cookman Ave and check out both <a title=\"The Gallery 13\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegallery13.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Gallery 13<\/a> and my show there Nature&#8217;s Palette and say hello.
