It was certainly an interesting and adventurous weekend in the Kennydid world. Kenny Smith, owner of Kennydid Gallery of Photographic Art and Upstairs Studio, was an artist vendor at MayFest in Gratz Park in Lexington, KY. Saturday was a nice, pleasant day with temps in the 70’s, lots of nice folks strolling around enjoying the music, food, arts and crafts and the ambiance of the day. Overall it was a very good day……………….
Then the rains came! And came, and came, and came!!! Saturday night and most of the day on Sunday, everything which wasn’t hermetically sealed was wet. Water and photos do not mix well at all. It has been learned that “water repellent” and “water proof” are not the same thing. Kenny has decided that this was an omen for him to go shoot new works since his other stuff is “all wet”!
Alexey Stiop, another Kennydid Gallery artist, was also a participant at MayFest but his work seems to have survived relatively intact with only minor damage sustained. His work is now back hanging in the gallery. Alexey is very talented and has some very beautiful work on display in the gallery.
On a brighter note, everything in the gallery is nice and dry. Some new work by a new photographic artist is scheduled to arrive this week. More on that work soon.
A new schedule of workshops is being finalized. Some exciting material will be covered from basics to natural light photography, portraiture to equine subjects and more. Some very talented photographer/instructors are being lined up to offer the best instruction possible. It should be an exciting time for photography this summer in Midway. Stay tuned for all the particulars.
Until next time………………
