Jan in front of her photographs

Jan’s First Exhibit A Success

March 11, 2016 by A. Cemal Ekin

After some years of taking photographs and entering club competitions, Jan finally pulled up enough nerve to submit two of her photographs to the juried photo exhibit at the South County Art Association, one of the oldest in the state. Both of her photographs were juried in! She was, of course, quite pleased.

Yesterday evening we went to the opening reception where about 30 photographers whose 50+ photographs were hanging on the wall. We even met a few friends there, later on, Nermin and Jim came to be with Jan and to see the exhibit. There was a nice spread in the back room with some wine, cheese, crackers, cookies, etc. to offer the guests. We stayed for about an hour and a half, viewed the photographs a few times, chewed the fat with friends, and returned home.

Here are some photographs from the opening reception and Jan’s winning photographs.

    Congrats for the leap! Thanks for sharing Cemal. I appreciate Jan’s abstractions, although I must admit my perceptions are far behind that creativity level.

      Thank you Haluk. I learned to “see” by visiting a local automobile junkyard. Try it…

    Jan, huge congratulations! You’re such an inspiration. Okay, you’ve been training by the master of masters, but I’m sure the master is happy, proud, and maybe even envious :)

    Jan,
    Congratulations! From what I saw of your work on my visit to your house, your photos would easily make it into any show that I have seen. I hope you won’t be shy about sharing them in the future in every show you can! Your abstracts are really quite wonderful, and some of the best I’ve seen. Congratulations again, and I hope to see more of your work!

      Thank you Mark. No more shyness, I promise, as I’ve learned that sharing in a show is not simply about showing your work. It is a wonderful vehicle to meet other photographers, people, artists in a special collaborative way. I hope you’ll see more of my work as well. I also want to add that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your book IN HISTORY’S WAKE! Thank you.
