Yea... I made a Tumblr....

So, I made a Tumblr account. I am not sure what it really is, but it has more photography stuffs on it. Check it out..... http://katiejean-kj.tumblr.com
"You mention a key word - conversation!
The "art" is not located in the artifact/image but in the interface between the artist and the audience facilitated by the work.
ART is a VERB, not a noun, an ACT not a thing, a DIALOG between the artist/creator and experiencer of the work."


That is a quote from my professor Brian Parkin. I posted this quote because it goes along with my post about the importance of explaining your work. I just love that this is a thing that everyone does, but they might not always notice how valuable it is.

Wisconsin Photography 2012!!! Go check it out!!

Wisconsin Photography 2012


 The above link is for the Wisconsin Photography 2012 exhibit at the Wustum Museum. This is a very exciting time for me because I have four images in this exhibit!!! IT IS MY FIRST MUSEUM EXHIBIT!!! When I received the email saying they would like my images to be in the show, my jaw dropped to the floor, and then I got the cheesiest smile on my face.

The exhibit had 862 entries, and only 118 images were selected, and I part of the 118 selected!!! I must have done something right to have an honor like this. The opening reception is this Sunday, September 9th from 2 to 4. I hope to see friends and family there, as well as meeting more new an amazing people. If you have never been to the Wustum Museum it is a great place. I remember going there a lot when I was little do to arts n' crafts with my girl scout troop, or with school. They have beautiful gardens for people to enjoy, and the art is always a nice to gaze at. Now, it is my turn to be in this great museum that I grew up with.

I hope everyone stops by to enjoy the Wisconsin Photography of 2012.
