As DoN entered the 5th Floor of Philadelphia City Hall for the Photographic Society of Philadelphia exhibition of member work a part of Art in City Hall he was greeted by Eilleen Eckstein with a flower for participating artists.  Shoshka pinned DoN‘s carnation and they entered the ornate halls together; the gala was jammed with estimates of 300 attendees, the walls are hung with a fantastic array of photographic styles all meeting the only rule, that the framed image not exceed 16 x 20 inches.  The crowd was jovial and high spirited.

Lynn Shepsman with her photograph, “Deep in Devotion“.  DoN is fascinated with how this simple image emanates a certain time and place and when DoN talked with Lynn he learned the image is indeed of contemporary India.

A visitor studying DoN‘s entry in Art in City Hall’s, Photographic Society of Philadelphia members exhibition.  DoN‘s work was framed by Armond Scavo of Earthlight Images, simply heat mounting the prints to foam-core board with no glass heightened the visibility of the images.

Many people asked DoN how he does it – Friday the 13th, DoN will participate in a discussion about light in art, with a video slideshow of his “light being” series at The Philadelphia Sketch Club @ 8:00PM.
