I await your feedback! Bring it on!
In addition to my website beta test, I had
a little beta test of my own. Yesterday, I went to visit a little local art
scene. I wanted to check out the galleries and maybe get my foot in the door and photos on the wall.
There was one gallery in particular that I
was excited about, it is a co-op gallery, where artists can display their art in
exchange for working there. I went up to the person behind the counter and
inquired about the co-op. They asked me what kind of art I do, I told them I
take photographs. They asked me what kind of photographs, I
told them nature with a rural feel. The person cut me off there, stated
that they already have a nature photographer, and then with a curt smile they
told me to feel free to look around. Put off, I wandered through the gallery. I
came across the sole photographer’s work and you will never guess whose art it
was! If you guessed the person behind the counter, you are right. They have a completely different eye for a picture and focus on completely different subject matter. Although art is
subjective, in my humble opinion, their art was mediocre at best.
This experience reminded me how competitive
artists can be and made me realize it might take some work to get my photos
out locally.
