Coming in the Fall

Has Photo 612 gone Green? Has everyone stopped printing their Photos?
Photo 612 welcomes Eric Mencher, Kass Mencher, Ellie Brown, Amie Potsic, Tony Wood, Julia Blaukopf, Jeannie Pearce, Ted Adams, Laurence Salzman, and Laura Jean Zito for Photo 612's first Paperless Photography show. Artists were invited to live with a Quantum 10.2 Digital Frame and make it their own. My memories of living in NYC and watching artists design their own window at Barney's Department store downtown come to mind! Each Artist has been asked to personalise their Digital frame and design their own space around the frame. Should make for some great Diversity, cReativity and some surprises!
Open Reception Sunday, September 13, 2009- 1:00 pm

Happy Groundhog's Day from the King

If candle mass be fair and bright
Come winter, have an early flight
If candlemass brings clouds and rain
Go winter and come not again

So it seems he has seen his shadow..... King Groundhog 2.2.2009
