Dubuque Museum of Art Summer Exhibit
Ron is suggesting an eclectic show featuring various photography genres. Ron will discuss the idea with the museum. We would have various photos from different categories or types of photo,s along with a description of that type of photography. Some ideas would be: refractometry, aerial, high speed shutter, portrait, altered reality, gigaprint and more. Instead of the art museum jurying the exhibit, our group will choose. Discussion was held about doing metal prints again for this.
