Wait, I've seen that photo before!

I'm sitting in a portfolio review yesterday morning, chatting with James Hull, when I pull out an infrared panorama of a cabin in Harvard, MA. He pauses then excitedly says, "Wait, I've seen that photo before!"

Turns-out that he almost accepted it into the CAA Interiors/Exteriors show that he juried last month. Ummm, small world.

It was one of those moments that could have slipped into awkward silence. Instead, we just eased into a conversation about the merits of saturation, printing on canvas, and explaining how I make my infrared photographs.

And, as much as I'd like to be resentful about not having a piece accepted for exhibition, I found James to be both charming and very helpful. Guess I'll have to find another chip to put on my shoulder. :-)
