It’s been both exciting and sad to see the photos of the installation of my show “Buried Intentions” at Galerie Confluence in Nantes, France. It looks great, and it is gratifying to have a solo show with a gallery that believes in the work. This is the culmination of months of hard work, riding my bike to Duggal labs early in the morning before work to view tests and finals, slaving over color correction and calling in favors from my old friend and Photoshop expert Alex Hestoft when I was overwhelmed by color correcting issues. One challenge of the show was balancing all the whites—there were a lot of different whites that had to look good next to each other. And some of these were underexposed images, so balancing was tricky.
The sad part is that because no international travel is allowed, and my country is a mess, as an American I most likely I won’t be allowed into France see the show. In one of the photos of the installation I can see some cobblestones and some graffiti on the street—makes me really want to see this place!
