Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek of the fantastic photos that you will see in a projected slideshow at the PHONOGRAPHY opening on September 20.  This image comes from Paul Moore-who lives in Tullamore, Ireland.

3 weeks to go!

Only 3 weeks till PHONOGRAPHY opens!!  We are soooooooooo excited by the work we have received already-it's gonna be a FABULOUS SHOW!!  We have over 200 images for our slideshow and will begin collecting work from our local participants next week.  We cannot WAIT to see what people bring in.  We were a bit worried about leaving the parameters of the exhibit so general, but felt much better when we were told by the Tech Gardens artist in residence, Ty Marshal, that it is GOOD to give people a curatorial challenge.  Thanks Ty!  A few people have told us their ideas for display and presentation and so far there's a HUGE variety.  Just what we were hoping for!!  We encourage all PHONOGRAPHERS to "think outside the box" and come up with a unique and creative display for your photos.  Or go with a straightforward frame or grouping of frames.  That's the great thing about PHONOGRAPHY-it can be whatever you want it to be. 

Istagrammatical

I've been framed!

Another local business has hopped aboard  PHONOGRAPHY!!!  The folks at The Art Store have offered a discount on framing for PHONOGRAPHY participants!  They have a special price of $49.95 for a single mat framing of your work-up to size 20x24. This includes dry mount, glass, frame and assembly.  If you've ever had anything professionally framed, you know that it can be quite expensive!    There's a nice variety of framing to choose from for this deal, and your photos will be so happy to have such a nice home!  If you want to know more, go to the Art Store, which is located at 935 Erie Boulevard East and talk to Joe Inzaloco.  He is an artist, photographer and framing specialist!  Joe will help you out.

This gives you another reason to check out a local business that we love!  The Art Store has everything you could possibly need for your creative projects and lots of stuff you ddidn't even know you needed.  The people who work there are soooooooo nice and always helpful.  Check them out!

No more room!

Have you heard the buzz?  We have filled every single spot on the wall for the PHONOGRAPHY show!!  Whoooopeeeee!  The response has been amazing and we didn't dare dream of having this much interest in the show when we began planning it in May.  We are thrilled to be showing the work of  90 PHONOGRAPHERS on the Tech Garden Gallery walls.  Most are from the central New York area, but we also have work from Ireland, India, Turkey,  Denmark, and other spots around the globe.  We are so excited!!

We are so grateful to RA-LINS for this generous offer!  If you've never been to this fabulous store-you need to check it out.  They are located at 625 Burnet Avenue and are open 7 days a week. RA-LINS was opened in 1953 by Bernie Radin and Herman Zeitlin and it is still owned and operated by members of the 2 families.  They sell just about everything you can imagine-appliances, luggage, cameras, electronics, jewelry, housewares, etc.  But this ain't your typical "big box" store.  Uh uh!!  There is a friendly, knowledgeable staff in every department.  You won't have to roam aisles looking for a sales person.  You won't be told "that's not my area" by an obnoxious teenager who can barely look up from his texting.  And the best part of shopping at this store is knowing that you are keeping your dollars in the community by supporting a locally owned business!
