Hi,
I’m proud to announce that I have a photography exhibition, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!! in this year’s Galway Fringe Festival.

The Galway Fringe Festival is a multidisciplinary Arts Festival encompassing visual art, music, theatre, dance, literature, cabaret, street spectacle and events and runs from July 12th to July 28th.

In today’s modern world most people seem to be in a rush and taking a moment to see the beauty in everyday life seems to be a lost art. In this eclectic photography exhibition I hope to re-kindle our appreciation of the world around us and remind us that EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!! A row of houses, a sculpture, an airplane and even beer bubbles, all photographed in Galway, are transformed into lasting memories.

My exhibition is currently on display in Oslo Bar, Salthill, Galway until July 28th. So please feel free to drop into Oslo Bar to view my exhibition and why not enjoy a pint of Oslo’s many craft beers.

thanks. I decided to print large, up to 30" by 40" for some of the prints.
I find that the impact is better when prints are larger.

As I was bringing the photos into the pub a lady eating there said she loved one of my prints (trees, top left in image above) but she doesn't have the space for it. Made me feel good at least.

Even if none sell I'll have some nice photos to hang at home.
Cheers,
Patrick.

Good luck, if they don't sell, people are missing out !!!

I'm in Dublin for a few days at the end of August for this, link, but that's too late to make it to Galway, but let me know when your next exhibition is on, I love an excuse to go to Ireland

Best of luck to you Patrick. And well done on what is hopefully your first of many exhibitions.
I've had a look at your blog and there are some cracking images in there.
I was in Salthill last week at a communion so it will probably be another year or so before I get to go again.
Wishing you all the best from Wicklow.

Well done Patrick - I hope it goes well for you. It's a proud feeling to exhibit your work, and I know what you mean about large prints - I'm lucky enough to have an A3 printer, and the impact from this relatively small enlargement (compared to your 30x40's) is quite different from Internet sizes images
