The Darlow Report
by Andrew Darlow
3/25/09
Hi folks!
This will be a "newsy" edition because of the shows/events that are
happening in the NYC area this week and over the upcoming months. One
that I am very happy to invite you to is an exhibition of my prints
at Alfa Art Gallery in New Brunswick, NJ. The show's opening
reception is Friday, 3/27 from 6-9pm.
About half the prints are large scale black and white prints on
canvas (about 40x60 inches stretched). The others were printed on
fiber-gloss/semi-gloss and watercolor papers. All were output using
pigment inkjet printers.

I hope to see some RDJ readers there!

Quick Website Suggestion-TWiPphoto.com
One of my favorite photo-related websites is TWiPphoto.com. The site
is filled with suggestions for taking better photos, and advice on
things that are rarely covered elsewhere, such as a workflow for
unpacking and checking a digital camera. The interviews and podcasts
are also filled with advice and info. I've also been fortunate to
have been invited to appear a few times on the show over the last
year or two.
