I am having a solo photography show at the Western Reserve Historical Society: 10825 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106.
The show opens Oct. 24 and will close Jan. 15. It is three shows combined. There is a touring exhibit on “Building America’s Canals. They have a model layout of a river, mine and city. You build a canal using locks, aqueducts, bridges, tunnels. The kids have fun. The engineers are given cost - benefits to figure a real canal based on tools chosen. The Museum is bringing out all their vintage canal pictures and I will have thirty 7"x17” contact silver prints showing how I see it today. Ten of the images were commissioned by the museum for the show. This is my first museum show so things are pretty excited at our house.
