Yes, this is not a gallery but a cafe with gallery and yes, I am quite tired at the moment having just returned from hanging some 40 prints. Thanks to the fine help of my wife and a coworker who is a doll to help..actual hanging the prints did not take as long as expected. Why am I worn totally out? This is a first and it is energy burnt from stress and excitement and plain old nerves. So,,,I say Whew.....done.
All left to do now is replace a few labels since mine don't want to stick well to the carpeted wall.
To relax, get a good sleep this evening and be happy about it all...I was really surprised when all was up and saw it was a good thing.
Yes, expenses did go much higher than expected but now I know about such stuff.
Any kind wish will be appreciated. You folks are great and without much of what this site has done to improve my photography there would not have been an exhibit. If I get a chance to shoot an image or two of the exhibit I will post those. The showing will be for 4 weeks approx.
Good night, sweet dreams. Tom.

Well Tom, all I can wish is a good kind. I am sure the first time experience is overwhelming, seeing your selected prints hanging on the wall. Congrat, and if you can manage to get a shot or two from your show would be nice.

Congratulations Tom and all my best wishes for your exhibition. It is so exiting to have such one. I had one last year on a restaurant on my paintings and drawings.
But didnt you forget something??? As we dont live in the neigbourhood, we cant see the exhibition can we? I would so love to se some shots from it, if possible :-)
I recommend to take shots from it, also for yourself to have. It is such fun to see these pictures later on.

Whoo Hoo!!!! Way to go, Tom!!! I'm so happy for you to be "up and running" so to speak!!! Fantastic!
And I have to go along with the others here.... as much as I really would like to see the exhibit myself, I live a little far, so let's see some shots or your debut here, okay?
Congratulations and I know you'll do well!!! Hugs!!!

The cafe gallery said they would get publicity together for the local newspaper. I am not sure when that will happen but likely I will be contacted by the paper.
In the meantime, I will try to get a few shots showing what is going on. Thanks so very much for the support shown here. That does mean a lot. Tom.
