Open Studios and Berkeley Art Center
Figure [1]: Angelika and other photographers are exhibiting their pictures.

Angelika In October and November, I dragged Michael from one exhibition opening to the next. As I mentioned before, every October, artists open their studios as part of the so-called "Open Studios" to show their works (Rundbrief 12/2005). Now I don't own a studio, but I'm quite active in a photography group and so eight of us from our group decided to rent a space in Fort Mason, a kind of cultural center in San Francisco, and show our photos to the public for a weekend. I worked day and night to get everything ready, and Michael had to use some acrobatic skills to make his way through the living room. Unfortunately, our exhibition had to compete with the Blue Angels, the annual air show that takes place around Fort Mason. There was traffic chaos and a shortage of parking spaces and some photo fans didn't manage to get to us. Michael said that my marketing strategies still needed some improvement so that I could get my works out there. Well, practice makes perfect.

Now in November I am exhibiting 11 of my photos again with my photography group at the Berkeley Art Center. The theme of the exhibition is "Loss" and I am showing photos that I took in my grandmother's house after her death. Something nerve-wracking was that I even had to give a lecture on my photos. We were hosting a so-called artist talk. But the audience was friendly and interested.
