Conversation


Having the work of a local artist hanging on the walls can be a huge benefit. Especially if it's an artist who totally sits at the popular table during lunch. Today was a day of great conversation about Allison's photos. One couple came in early and stayed for nearly 45 minutes talking about every photo with me. The man was a photographer, so he admired things from a knowing standpoint, but his friend didn't know much about the subject. She asked all kinds of questions and seeing her excitement about the work was contagious. Next walked in a big fan of Allison's work who talked with me about her sense of color and composition. He came from a graphic design background, so his appreciation was entirely different and just as interesting. My job rules.
