Hi guys. I'm sure there's only a small percentage of you that are interested - and an even smaller percentage that could actually attend - but I figured I'd let you know that I'm going to have my own photo exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden in September.

It will be called Asian Anecdotes. "Asian" since the pictures feature Asian people and things (in Japan, China, Vietnam, Canada and the US) and "Anecdotes" since the pictures will be accompanied by short stories about the subject and/or the moment the picture was taken. Hopefully it'll be a bit more entertaining and less pretentious than most photo exhibitions, where people often mull over abstract pieces called "Untitled".

Where?

Galleri Korn
Hornsgatan 147
Stockholm
Sweden

When?

Sep 18th - Oct 1st, 2009.

Those of you who are willing and able; you're very welcome to show up. For those of you who are willing but not able, I'll try to take some photos of the photo exhibit...and then exhibit those photos on here.

A few examples that will be part of the exhibition:













I'll bump this thread when it gets closer to the opening night...

I'll be there.

Congrats!

Congrats ~ AWESOME !!

I won't be able to come along, but I can send my mum!
Congratulations, good on you

Congrats Peter! very well deserved

Yay! I will be there!

Hello Peter.

I do want to go to Sweden....

This is excellent! Congratulations! What beautiful and carefully thought out images.

I hope you're not still mad at me and Chris.

These are stunning ~ they provide a very contemplative atmosphere. Please post others!

Well if you're talking about the P&R forum, that's sisyphus work. But you get an A for effort.

ZombieKitten said:

Oh, so she will be here in September? She's very welcome.
Thank you for the congratulations.

heybaby said:

Hey baby.
Thank you! Have you had any exhibitions yet? I can totally envision your work in a nice gallery, with big shots mingling and eating peanuts with their champaign... You definitely deserve a chance.

FreeSpirit said:

Yeah, live up to your name and hop on a plane.

Vendetta1 said:

You've been saying that for too long now. Just go.

PunkMistress said:

Thank you! They're not thought out in the sense that I've arranged them (they've all been snapped spontaneously as they happened to occur) but I'm glad you like the thought behind them. That's a very nice compliment.



Eh, who are you? Are you Funkmistress? Did you switch to punk when Prince started making stuff like Planet Earth? If you are indeed her, then I don't know why I would be angry. The last thing I remember about you guys was your cool wedding video.

MoonSongs said:

Thanks!! "Contemplative atmosphere" is a nice and accurate description, I think. I've noticed that about them too. I like that kind of atmosphere and probably subconsciously shoot them that way. I should shoot some happy ones too just to mix it up, lol.

retina said:

No, I didn't think you had arranged or posed them. But you obviously give lots of thought to the perfect composition for that particular image. I LOVE the one with the little guy and the big guy on the bench.

Yeah, it's me. Weren't you kind of pissed at our little joke about me sleeping with Chris's ex wife?

PunkMistress said:

Thanks again! It's pretty funny, isn't it? Their expressions, the little cup with pink shaved ice that the sumo wrestler is eating. The suit/bandana combo... It did speak a lot to me, so I had to snap it even though a friend was pulling my shirt because she thought I was being too forward, lol. That's the problem with photography actually; you kind of have to invade people's privacy if you ever want to get a good shot.



I have no recollection of it, and I can't see why I would be annoyed by something like that. It sounds hot!

retina said:

Thanx

Love your pics, congratulations, please post more...

retina said:

No, no exhibition yet Once I graduated I let myself get side tracked by kids and work...but I haven't given up, I have rolls of film and digital shots that I've taken but I need to be sorted

NpgSoldier said:

Thanks! Here are a few more for you and Moonsongs, since you both requested them. These are shot from a distance though, and might not look the way they are supposed to (they should be much bigger):

retina said:

Really, really lovely. I'd love to see more.

heybaby said:

Prioritize them before it gets too late. After a while they will start to feel old and then you will lose your enthusiasm over them (that's already started to happen to me with these pics, and they were shot just a couple of years ago). On the other hand, you could always shoot new ones.
