TPS is the Texas Photographic Society, a very active photography organization in Texas and beyond. They have numerous competitions and workshops and have a very informative newsletter.

The two prints in the show were darkroom prints (done with an 8×10 enlarger); I had not yet started printing digitally. 2 pieces: ‘8th Ave. Street Fair’, and ‘Reflections to Go’.

A friend and I traveled to Texas for the opening of this my second show… and we went to New Orleans as well. This is when my New Orleans photos were taken.

Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 6/4-7/6/2002.
Reception: Tuesday, June 3, 6 – 8 pm.

 
This was my first show! I was accepted into Soho Photo Gallery’s annual national photography competition (before I became a member).

Interesting note: When I submitted to the competition I submitted slides I took of contact prints… as at that point I had not yet made my first print (well since college anyway). And I was accepted!

The print I ultimately made for the exhibition was a gelatin-silver print done using an 8×10 enlarger.

This was amongst my first overlapping exposure Holga pictures, a Times Square image shot for a four-week class at the New School (where I was first introduced to the Holga).
