11/12/2012

 
It's Monday afternoon, and the Weems Artfest is over. We tore down last night and I have just finished unloading the van full of pictures, lights, and the myriad other bits and pieces it takes to do the show. It was a good show: lots of people, good conversations with interested folks, some sales, some leads to follow up, and a lot of energy derived from showing my work to so many people. I truly enjoy talking with the people who take the time to come into the booth and tell me what they like and what they don't like about my pictures. I learn a lot from them, and I hope they learn something from me. People are always interested in how I got a picture, where I went to get it, and any of the other things that make each picture more personal.

The hours are long at these shows. Friday it was officially open from 10 to 9, but I got there about 8 in order to adjust positions and lighting, arrange all the matted and bagged prints, and prepare myself. Once the people come in the door there is little time to do anything else, like lunch or bathroom breaks. By the end of the day I am tired and my feet hurt. My voice is nearly gone and I usually wind up a little dehydrated because I forget to drink enough. Then home, eat something, fall into bed, and get up ridiculously early the next day in order to do it all again!
