Friday night was the opening of the 600 sqi mi: Hidden exhibit featuring two of my pieces.
First off I want to thank Ali for pushing me to do this and everything else she does for me, my parents and Aunt Michelle for helping me with the framing costs and Steve for always being willing to lend me his cameras.
When we first walked in I saw my first photo, “Happiness ♥” was in a prime spot right at the door. From that moment on I did not stop smiling. Seeing something that I did hanging in a gallery with 60 other equally incredible photographs is an awesome feeling that I can’t even begin to describe.
It was a great night put on by the Houstonist and Xnihilo Gallery (pronounced na-hi-lo). I can’t wait to go back to the gallery when it isn’t crowded to really study each image.
There are a ton of pictures from the event online, here are some links to them (make sure you click through the sets and galleries):
I think your photos stood out and were awesome. I’m so proud of you! We’ll get our friends together who couldn’t make it to go see the exhibit and have another fun night out.
Love you!
[...] dinner at Gravitas. It was a fantastic night and I really couldn’t be more proud of him. Go read his blog to see his photos and how excited he [...]
Congratulations on the exhibit. From what I see, you have a terrific eye for composition. The smile on your face shows how much you love photography. Mazeltov!
This is so fantastic! I’m so happy for you Mike, and sad that didn’t get to see it in person. I know shit diddly about photography, but I really liked these. Esp. the colors – so vivid, almost saturated. If that’s a word. Which I’m pretty sure it is.
