MiskKar Gallery
|
MishKar was a Church ... before we purchased it to our purposes. A photograph I took in Oglesbay WV. That was its outside. We had traveled to Oglesbay over a long weekend to dance English Country ... . Enroute to PA -- just to say we'd been there -- we stopped to photograph an old church
There was a wedding going on ... . We never made it to PA ... . No connection; we just couldn't make it up the hills and over the bridge. Over a year later, while visiting Naper Settlement near Chicago, I photographed several stained glass windows in their chapel. Held a long, fascinating coversation with the Chapel organist ... . I knew I had the guts, then, for MishKar's gallery
Some of the artwork we placed in MishKar's Gallery has been shown elsewhere; it has appeared at other WebSites or it has been published in a variety of small press publications Joe Enzweiler's "Yaqui" -- for example -- appeared originally in Xavier University's literary magazine Athenaeum ... my own "Self Portrait: Wizard in Blue" -- in another form -- appeared as an illustration to accompany Adam Meyer's "Love Sucks" in Prisoners Of The Night, a vampire anthology published by Alayne Gelfand ... There are other galleries, of course and there are other galleries ... . And there is this gallery. |
