I decided to enter one of my favorite photos, Center, into the Charity Print Auctions Flickr Group. The winning bid for this 12×18 inches print will be donated to Red Cross to help with the Haiti relief efforts. To enter, all you need to do is to comment on the photo here with your bid. If you do not have a Flickr account, you may email me at auction@wilchow.com and I will make a bid on your behalf in the comments. The auction ends on January 24th, 2010 at 23:59 CST. For more details and to bid, head over to the photo here.

I just found out today that my photo got accepted into the Fine Arts exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair this year. I have to thank my friends for supporting me, but the one I have to thank the most is my Liz. She is the one I made this photo for. She is the one that inspires me. If you are in the MN area at the end of the month, come check out the Fair if you can. If you haven’t been to the MN State Fair, you really should. It’s the second biggest one in the US.

I am once again showing at the Saint Paul Art Crawl this year. I will be displaying a small selection of my photography on Friday April 24, 6-10 pm and Sat April 25, 12-8 pm at the Lowertown Loft (studio 506). I will not be showing on Sunday, though the Art Crawl does continue on that day. Please come by to support me and the other artist displaying if you can.

I don’t know if that makes sense, but that’s how it is for me. You can visit my Flickr to see the new photos.

Tomorrow, my new camera should arrive. I’m getting a 5D Mk II. Though I’m sad to put down my very trusty XT, I’m beyond excited to get my 5D. So I’m sad, but happy today. I’m not selling my XT since it’s not really worth much for anyone. I’m going to keep it as a backup.
