is the gallery opened during the week-end? how long the exhibition is going 
to last?
I may want to ride down there from myrtle beach one week-end if the weather 
is nice.
thanks.

Subject: [Alt-photo] Bob Kiss's exhibit in Charleston

Hey all,

I just thought I'd report that I was down at the NC coast this past 
weekend-- not all that far from Charleston, SC-- so we took a ferry part of 
the way, and then drove on down to see Bob's opening for his Barbados 
chattel house images ("The Spirit of Place . . . ") at the City Gallery at 
Waterfront Park, overlooking the Charleston Harbor.  Bob's 
platinum/palladium images, up to 20x24, are spectacular-- really stunning--  
from the exquisite printing to the presentation.  I was in awe.  I'm also 
thinking Barbados must have the most beautiful light ever, or Bob went out 
only when there was perfect light-- and it's all translated perfectly in his 
imagery.  The opening was packed, with people of all ages actually engaged 
with the work-- which is always refreshing to see.  They even had a model of 
a chattel house installed.  There were equally intriguing images from Julia 
Cart, a Charleston native, who has documented similar chattel houses along 
the SC coast.  I was also impressed w
ith some of her quite large images, printed softly on vellum, and hung 
simply on wire, so you could just walk back and forth through them.  It's a 
wonderful exhibition, which offers so much history-- on through October I 
*think" --  and definitely worth a trip if you're in or near the area.  Bob 
has a beautifully reproduced book of this work, too.

Oh-- and right around the corner from the Gallery (actually, right around 
every corner in Charleston, it seems) is this terrific little bar/cafe--  
East Bay Meeting House-- which has great beer offerings, Hendricks gin, and 
amazing tapas.

To get a chance to meet Bob and talk with him was so much fun.  I've not met 
that many people on the List, but I'm always curious as to what List members 
are like in real life, after reading their posts for years on end.  I'm 
consistently taken aback as they're almost never ever like what I imagine. 
I wonder what that means.  We don't write like we talk?  We don't look like 
we sound?  I'm not sure, but it's always fun.  Oh.  And Bob is super young 
looking and very tall.  And his prints are amazing.  :)
