I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that came out to the photo show on Saturday. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a great time. If any of you are interested in continuing to follow my project blog, "In my footsteps - A photographic journey through the natural world," I encourage you to please do so. I have some exciting adventures coming up, and I will be visiting more SDHC preserves and posting photos from my visits. Remember, many of these areas are not open to the public, so these photos are a sneak peak into the hidden natural world right here in San Diego! You can follow me by subscribing to my blog (click the orange RSS feed button in the right column), liking my Facebook Fan page if you haven't done so already, or following me on Twitter.

Photos from Saturday's event were taken by my friend, the very talented photographer, Albertine, of "Art of Albertine." They will be coming out soon, and I will share them with you. A few of the show pieces are still available and can be viewed at 3RDSPACE by making an appointment with me. Please email me at: [email protected] or call me at (619) 392-2120 if you are interested in viewing them in person. I can send you the information sheet of what is still available along with a photo of the actual art work. The pieces are discounted and a percentage of the sales will benefit the San Diego Habitat Conservancy. Several people have also asked me if there is a way to purchase my work online. YES, there is: BUY PRINTS. In my online store, the photographs are available in a variety of sizes and finishing options, though at full price.

Overall, the event was a huge success with over 250 people coming together to support a great cause in an awesome space! This 3 hour show took months of planning and would not have been possible without support from the community and many of my best friends. I especially wanted to thank Peter McConnell, the owner of 3RDSPACE, for his incredible support and mentorship. 3RDSPACE Co-working and Club for the Creative is a beautiful place that is very supportive of both its members and the community. If you would like to learn more about it, sign up for the 3RD MONTHLY newsletter. 

I would like to give a big thanks to the GreenGo Grilled Cheese Gastro Truck for coming out. The food was absolutely delicious!  The musical performance by Lightning Starts Fire was fantastic and people kept asking me about Indio the entire night! What a talented and amazing young performer. 

I also wanted to thank APA San Diego, Medium Festival, and MOPA for showing support for emerging local artists. APA has a photo show,"UNTITLED," coming up at 3RDSPACE on October 25, 2014. This is a very exciting event; the showcased photography will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting the Museum of Photographic Art. Please come on out if you have time. Also, the Medium Festival of Photography is happening right here in San Diego from October 23-26, 2014. I am really excited about attending this year's event! MOPA's current exhibit, "After Ansel Adams," is still on display until September 28, 2014, so make sure to check it out as well.

Again, THANK YOU all for coming out and making this event such a big success. I have some other exciting projects coming up, and I hope to share them with you when the time comes.

Yours, jennifer
