An interesting collection. A lot of different styles of images. I think the collection would be stronger if you adopted a style that ran consistently through the entire collection.
Thanks Randy. I was thinking along the same lines but I’ve been attempting to post these photos now for months and I just got lazy. Certainly the 2024 collection will all have the same style.
Which style would you suggest?
Dave, you might receive this comment multiple times. Your WordPress is being very funky with comments. I’ve tried multiple times with uncertain success.
What I want to share is that the style you chose needs to enhance the esthetic, emotional, and conceptual intent you have for the collection. It is a VERY personal choice.
If you would like to see how I have approached it, there are 2 distinct collections now hanging in the Schaeffer/deGrandpre Gallery for your consideration. We’d love to have you stop by.

Thanks Randy.
Wordpress is very quirky and frustrating in regard to responding.
I will find some time this week to visit your gallery.
