Dan River Art Market, The Jury Selection Begins
Many of you have been following my progress with the Dan River Art Market from my first contacts with them, to my decision to display my work with them. I am writing now to let you know that the DRAM and the Stokes County Arts Council is in possession of five of my framed prints. You will recall that I had selected three prints especially for this venture.
Jagged Precipice New Life Liquid Lace
These were all printed as 8x10" prints and matted and framed in 11x14" frames. While these were selected due to the area interest in Hanging Rock State Park, I thought I would go ahead and add a couple of more prints that I already had mounted and framed. While these have nothing to do with Hanging Rock, they are indicative of my other work, and might do well despite the subject matter.
Just Another Day in the Park This is print number 1 of 10 in this limited series
Atlanta Avenue in black and white
I'm not sure how these will do sales wise in the DRAM, but I would rather them be on display than gathering dust in my closet waiting for somebody to pick these exact prints from the online gallery.
After speaking with a representative from both the DRAM and the Stokes County Arts Council, I think that the jury process will be an easy hurdle to overcome. However, I won't know officially until Monday May 5th the results of that jury process. My hope is to have my display up and running in the early days of May in what will officially be my first actual retail showing of my prints. This will be a whole new chapter in the story that is Four Forty-Six Photography.
In time, I am hoping to have ten or more prints onsite and available for sale at any given time. With my volunteer status at the DRAM, I will also be making appearances at the market, and getting to know the other craftsmen in the area. There is also the possibility that I will be taking part in a gallery showing of photographers in the future that is held by the Stokes County Arts Council, and might possibly be a speaker at this function. Right now, the possibilities are many, and the doors that are about to be opened up are very exciting.

Good luck Greg! I am looking forward to hearing the results of the jury process. I'm sure your prints will sell well, and the public will welcome your fresh new look on the every day scenes all around us... you make everything look extraordinary, inviting, and mysterious. Your photos remind me to look again, to look deeper, and to look farther. Your photos also remind me that there is nothing ordinary in this world, only ordinary thinking ... whether we are photographers or not, your journal and photos show us how to appreciate the details of the extraordinary common objects around us, both living and non-living. Have a good weekend! bea

Greg, good luck on your new venture. I really like the two images you added...they show your versatility and keep you from falling into a niche. Excellent choices, both. Looking forward to hearing more about this venue and how you do with it.
