Congrats John. Looks like you will have a great opening and I wish you much success. Wish I could be there. All the best.

Congratulations. A very handsome space. Will you specialize primarily in amphibious photographers?

[Jim Fitzgerald]

John, the gallery space looks awesome! Very nice colors and the work looks impressive. If I ever get to Florida I will be sure to stop in.

Thank you all for the support. I have opened many business's over the years and it's the same thing every time. You plan, you work your tail off and then you wait and see how the public will respond. The waiting game begins! In this economy its hard to say what the response will be. One thing for sure, Clyde's involvement in the opening exhibit will be a major boost and hopefully prime the pump for the future of the gallery.

As far as amphibious goes, the primary focus is on Landscape photography with Florida first. I think because the gallery is in Naples local work will play best. But I am not excluding other regions. I am showing some images from Italy and the Blue Ridge mountains to test the waters...

I think putting a gallery inside of a retail flooring store isn't wierd, it's genius. People who walk through the door are already in the frame of mind to spend money on some aspect of interior design or improvement, so throwing photography into the mix is outstanding.

Simply beautiful installation from the prints to the walls to the floor to the lighting. Best of luck.

I visited there this morning. Beautifully done. A real pleasure to meet John and see his work, as well as his workshop.
One side was John's work, the other Clyde Butcher's. I couldn't tell their B&W prints from each other (except maybe John is a better printer). I'm still in awe that photographs can be printed so large in quality and quantiry.
Definitely worth a trip if you're in South Florida.

It looks like a beautiful space that you have created. Best of luck to you.
