I thought that the Fall Friends and Family Show, put together by The Monochrome Guild, went pretty well, all things considered. It has been a hectic few days for me trying to get everything together, but it went off without a hitch. There were over 50 prints on display, as well as another 25 or so loose prints put out for people to shuffle through. I'm proud of the way everyone pulled together and helped to get this show ready. The only downside was the weather....
The day before the show a winter storm rolled in and it started to snow. By the evening of the show the snow was beginning to taper off, but not before it had dumped nearly 16 inches of snow on the city. And as the snow ended and the sky cleared, the temperature plummeted. By the time that we got the show underway the temperature had dropped to about -23C, and with the wind chill factored in it was well below -30C. Needless to say attendance was lighter than what we have experienced in the past. Nonetheless I estimate that between 50 and 60 people stopped by to check out our work. And there were a few pieces that sold. Thanks to everyone that dropped by and encouraged the Guild to push forward with events like this. This won't be the last and we vow to continue and organize more evenings like this in the future....
