Party at Photos Do Not Bend Studio and Gallery

a slideshow from those that ventured into the photobooth......

I had a party at the gallery/studio to kick off 'half price December'. I wanted to give all my friends first dibs. Thought I'd serve some martinis and step it up a notch. A lot of these prints are printed by hand in the darkroom. They don't make them like this anymore. A dying art? I hope there will always be people out there that appreciate the beauty and tonal range of a fine art silver gelatin print.

Look at the flowers Sue Bridgman did for the event. Wow. When they delivered it that day, I loved it so much I couldn't stop staring at it. Everybody loves flowers - that's easy -her team does an amazing job with the DESIGN. outstanding!
