My photography is being exhibited!

A few weeks there was an international event called Photo Walk. Locally there was a group in El Paso, and I went with a group of friends. We all had a lot of fun and I got some good shots. They're going an exhibition, you could submit an image that was 12x18" and pay $35 per print, and you get the print when the show is over. So I submitted three.


Of the three, this is my favorite. And it's not being shown. They don't like the fact that it's such a narrow image, even though it's within the print parameters. And if you were to crop the image and cut off the clouds, the image sucks and loses all impact. Oh, well.


I really like this image, catching the guy leaning against the wall really makes it for me.


This one I think is kinda cool, but not as good as the first one.

Regardless, it'll be interesting to be in an exhibition. Even if I don't get to show the print that I want seen.

The crop is actually inadvertent: the original shot was at 24mm to capture everything, and the building was falling over backwards. I used Photoshop's perspective tool to bring the building more vertical, and this was the minimum crop that cut out the triangular lines from the tool.

I also like the third one, it's actually the first building's right side, largely in shadow because of the brightness of the left side.
