I don't know if I mentioned before but a while back I submitted some of my photographs to the Sooke Fine Arts Show again this year. None were chosen for the big show in August and so I have been thinking that I would like to have another show for all of those who were outright rejected during the selection process this year. It just seems like the right thing to do.

Surprisingly enough, I was not bitter or even that disappointed. It sucked, of course, but I am guessing that my work is just not commercial enough for this show. I have to expand my horizons and show in places that are more suitable for my genre.

In the meantime, I think about my "Not the Sooke Fine Arts show" idea and try to get the word out. And, I suppose that I will have to look for a venue. Do you know anyone who got rejected this year? If so, please pass this on to them and maybe we can make a go of it.

It's Canada Day next Tuesday. I couldn't find an online schedule for what's happening then so, I have opted to do what I did last year... go and watch the swearing in of new citizens to our country. How much more patriotic can one be? (Well, I suppose that I could go and drink myself silly like Bob & Doug MacKenzie, eh?)
