Henry's Farm :: Harvest and Market

On Henry's Farm, I captured the amazing act of a two day organic vegetable harvest and the subsequent day at their booth at the Evanston Farmer's Market. I met many incredible and admirable people on Henry's Farm, and will never think about the food I eat the same way again.

I was working along side videographer Anya Traisman. The next step in this project is editing together everything she and I shot into a finished video for Henry's website. Here is a sneak peak at some of my photos to hold everyone over until the video is completed.

EQUILIBRE (BALANCE)

Yesterday was the big day. The show is up, and it looks great.

19 pieces (one more than advertised), and I wish I had a few more to put up. The restaurant is deceptively large, but I think I filled it well.

If you are interested in seeing all of the photos in the show, but are not going to be able to make it to the cafe between Feb. 9 and April 6, please visit my brand new shop on Etsy, at dgfineart.etsy.com.

For those of you that are going to see the show at Cafe Selmarie, I would ask that you not judge the quality of the show by what you see on Etsy. I spent a long time trying to make the work look great for an online market, but there is really no substitute for seeing the real prints, framed, and well lit.

I hope you all can make it for the "reception", next Tuesday, the 17th. I call it the "reception" because the cafe does not have "openings" anymore, so I am trying to engineer a way to fill the place with friends and colleagues during dinner hours. So, if anyone is interested in having dinner (or dessert, coffee, or a drink) with Leslie and me from 7-9pm next Tuesday, please drop me a line at davidgarciafineart@gmail.com so I have an idea of how many tables to reserve.

All are welcome to attend, and please bring a friend. Let's fill the place up! The food is great, the desserts are even better, and the artwork ain't too bad either.

I'm very excited to have a new show of work to share with all of my friends and co-workers here in Chicago. To everyone in St. Louis, Columbus, New York, Oakland, Khost Province, Nashville, and Franklin: I hope some of you can make it in to town to see the show. Leslie and I always have room for a couple of people here.

Also, I would like to thank Robert Sharoff and Bill Zbaren, who put me in touch with the owners at Cafe Selmarie. Thanks guys. Couldn't have done it without you.
