A Moment to Brag About My Man
A few weeks ago, Mike told me about a photography contest put on by The Houstonist. He was interested and started looking into some of his work to see what he would submit. Then, the last day submissions would be accepted, I asked him about it. He was all *shrug*. I was all *DO IT*. And he did.
He had two photos accepted! Out of 200 entries they accepted 60. And TWO are his.
It’s funny because I didn’t really read about the contest. I skimmed it. It’s a contest. I thought it’d be cool if he was chosen. I also thought they’d just accept all submissions. Seriously.
But OMG it’s an actual exhibit. In a gallery. Showing for a month. AND THEY SELL THEM. Like, for a few hundred bucks each. There is even an opening party and all that fancy business.
The exhibit is called 600 sq miles: Hidden. It’s all about finding hidden gems in Houston and viewing them with an artistic eye. The show starts Oct 9 and will run through the month at xnihilo Gallery, right down the street from our house.
I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!
These are the two photos chosen:
Blinky – taken at the corner of West Grey and Montrose.
Happiness ♥- Taken in Forest Cove
Anyone who wants to go to the opening, pre-party at our house!
