Look who’s putting on a gallery show! Little old me. Never thought i’d see the day.
It’s with two other very talented local music snappers Matt Booy and Nic Bezzina.
It’s all rather exciting and daunting. I’ve no idea yet what pictures i’ll be printing. I’ve never even printed my photos before.
So far it’s been more about organising everything and promoting the event. I wrote my first ever press release, with a little help from my friends. And Matt designed the great flyer and website, which is still a work in progress.
Any of you folks are welcome to come – it’ll be open August 12-13th from 12-5pm and it opens on Friday the 11th August from 7pm. All at the so-hip-it-hurts China Heights Gallery in Surry Hills. I’m still trying to line up an alcohol sponsor, so if you’ve any suggestions send em my way. Thankyou Crumpler!

Congratulations! Will you be selling prints of your photos?
That’s the idea, but we don’t know yet what it’ll cost to do the prints and frame or mount them. So no idea of price. But we hope they’ll be reasonably affordable.
I would have gone to this but alas I won’t be in Sydney. All the best with it though.
If you take photos of your own photos does that make you a freak?
you’re really putting Girlfriend on the press release?
😉
It’s my proudest achievement!
Very very cool. I wish I could see it. Maybe you’d take a picture of the space?
Yeah – i’m sure there’ll be some picture taking going on.
Awsome idea! I’ll be checking that one out for sure.
Congratulations! If I was in Sydney I’d definitely check it out but unfortunately I won’t be. Hope it all goes well.
Well done Dan. Sounds great!
I think the show should travel.
To Melbourne.

Very nice site – Congratulations !
Well done Dan – congratulations and all the best with the show! I shall be there for sure.
This is awesome. Congratualations and good luck. Can’t wait to see your images printed! Sent you some myspace mail about alcohol sponsors. Hope it helps.
Way to go Dan…The leaps and bounds you have taken with this website and photography is so cool-its been neat watching it all these last couple years. I would come, but Im up here in Canada!
It was only a matter of time before you set the art world on fire too, darling man.

this new excites me!
Good work Dan, great news, I expect to see a few of me drunk at purple sneakers naturally(yeah right)! Just before I go back to England too, so good timing.
Thanks heaps everyone!
Dan, do you mind if I post this up on the SydPhotobloggers Flickr board? I think I can get a few of us to the opening … any excuse for a pub crawl afterwards
Sure Tracey, that’d be cool. I was thinking about it myself but didn’t want to spam the group till closer to the date.
absolutely unreal!
Dan, just wondering with your exhibition, any chance that will make it’s way interstate in QLD? Would love to see it for sure, but I live in Brisbane.
There’s no plans to take the show interstate. I think we’ll have to wait till we’re big and famous Tony Mott style.
Congratulations, Dan! (A bit late because I’m only just catching up on everyone’s news). This is really exciting and I hope to be able to check it out.
Congrats Dan
Im back from my overseas trip and weeding through tons of emails. Just found this. 🙂
Congrats, Sean and I will try to make it Im sure. 🙂
