Photography

Many of you may have noticed that our Blogs page is no longer weighted down with random internet videos posted on a daily basis. The Daily Dose we used to do was an experiment, and one I've learned from. Instead of sharing a video with you every day, I'm going to start a Weekly Dose.

Our Blog paged has been filled with great posts from you, our readers, a lot recently, and I don't want to take away from that. I would like to offer each of you posters and readers a small break in the hectic world of St. Johns Sun blogging.

I encourage you to continue posting and responding, but to also check the Weekly Dose to just check in with interesting things happening around the world you won't see on any other news outlet. These are things I find interesting and cool and think are worth sharing.

The beaches community is home to many artists of all shapes and sizes representing various artistic mediums. Many times a gifted artist is stifled by the inability to showcase their work either by lack of opportunity, cost to exhibit or truthfully -- the lack of know how to find the proper venues. Their business is the art of creating -- not the marketing side of managing their artwork.

My personal quest has only just begun on the marketing side -- I too struggle here. I have found two local venues that fully support local art and artists each in their own way. My photographic artwork is on display at both venues -- a solo exhibit at the Ponte Vedra library on display until February 29, 2008 and a black and white piece as part of a mixed media group exhibition at The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach ending February 23, 2008.
