Slowly and Cautiously Re-entering the World of Photography

I'm one of those people who finds it really hard to work a day job and make art at the same time. Once I started working in museums, I stopped producing nearly as much art. I lost my mojo, you could say. Plus it's hard to make new photographs when you live in an apartment and your darkroom is your bathroom. Digital photography seems like a good solution to my dilemma, if only I can figure out a way to maintain the style that I love in this new medium.

This year, I ventured (very cautiously) into the world of digital photography by entering a few exhibitions. My digital photos have been exhibited in a couple of galleries recently, one of which has my work online. I entered this exhibit for fun, as a way of benefiting from these awful Quebec winters, sending in work that is very different from what I would normally show, but it turned out to be an enjoyable project. Maybe now I'll stop being such a film snob.
