BLUE, but happy about it!

One of my entries for this year's BLUE exhibit was juried into the show! BLUE is Cambridge Art Association's annual open competition (it rotates with RED every other year).


The accepted piece is Windshield and Hillside in Infrared Light, Cleator, AZ.

It's a view from within an abandoned pick-up truck looking out onto a ghost town in one of my favorite parts of the world, the American Southwest.

There's something wonderful about the Southwest. The climate preserves old, discarded objects. The light has a delicate, beautiful quality that makes just about everything look better. And, of course, there are the bullet holes.

I don't know if someone just wanted to make sure that this pickup was really dead or what, but I'm glad they did.

I hope you'll join me at the BLUE reception. Details are available on the FaceBook page for Andrew Child Photography. You don't need a FaceBook account to view the invitation. If you do have one, though, send me a friend request!
