I want to share my heartfelt thanks to everyone who was involved with my recent exhibition, the Dynamic Poetry of Nature, that showed from August through October at the Visual Arts Center in Historic Nye Beach, Newport, Oregon.
The local Newport community was the catalyst for me to take my hobby and evolve it into something more. As friends and neighbors encouraged me to print and share my craft, the Oregon Coast Learning Institute invited me to present and connected me with the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. The entire organization from staff to board all reached out to support and educate me through my journey. The Newport Chamber of Commerce also connected me with amazing local artists and entrepreneurs. I'm excited to share that the piece, "Two Bridges of Newport" is currently being displayed at the chamber's office in Newport!
I was informed that thousands of visitors came to see the exhibition. Locally, you travelled from Bend, Clackamas, Corvalis, Enterprise, Hood River, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Portland, Seal Rock, Taft, Tigard, Toledo, and Yachats, Nationally, we received guests from California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, New York, Texas, Utah, and Washington. International visitors who shared their location were from Canada, England, and Wales,
I loved reading the puns you wrote in the register, from "Jeremy's astro pics are a big bang" and "stellar" to "out of this world." I appreciate you all!
Before I continue, I want to pause and ask, "Are you interested in ongoing updates?" If you are, and haven't yet opted into a subscription, take a moment to pop your email into the form at the top of this page. I take privacy very seriously and even if we've engaged in discussions over email, I only send updates to users who have specifically opted-in and said, "Yes, I give Jeremy and DSW Galleries permission to send me email." Yes, right up top. Go ahead, scroll up and drop your email in. I'll wait right here!
Welcome back.
Several pieces found a new home at the exhibition. These are the pieces that sold, and one that I gifted to an inspiring leader who was instrumental to the exhibition's success.
After the exhibition ended, I pulled the "Heart of Redmond" to donate to an online auction during "give" month at my employer (yes, I work full-time as a remote product manager for a major technology company, so DSW Galleries is a passion I pursue after hours, which happens to work out quite well for astrophotography). The bidding is almost at $500, and my employer will match that with all proceeds going to charity.
If you are familiar with my work, whether through the gallery, a piece you purchased or by watching social media posts, I'd love to hear your feedback (you can text, email, or call, all of the information you need is on the contact page). If you are open to the idea and have the time, both my business and our community will benefit from a candid review on Google.
Reviews are so important to people new to my art as they decide if I'm someone they want to work with. and yours will be deeply appreciated. Here is the link to share your thoughts:
You can see the remaining pieces in my inventory on my fine astrophotography art prints page. I've been quite busy and have gone through 256 gigabyte SD cards faster than I can publish the pictures, archive the source, and free up the space. With a few new shows coming up, I am considering which large format prints I'd like to make. I added several new Milky Way photographs to the gallery along with several new galleries dealing with aurora and solar (sun. moon, planets). I captured the comet in multiple locations and got closer to the moon and Saturn than I ever have before. Here are a few recent photographs I'm really excited about:
"The Perspective" captures the amazing magnetic storm we experienced in October over the Yaquina Bay Bridge. "The Reveal" captures the moment of sheer awe I experienced when I rounded the bend of a trail l hiked to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse on the same night "The Perspective" was taken. "Star-crossed" shows the edge of our galaxy over the Pacific Ocean as it is crossed by the long, flowing tail of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). "The Ridgeline" is a 6-meter focal length view of the lunar surface and "Hunter's Blue" is a detailed capture of a gibbous moon with my new Sigma 600mm camera lens.
What would you love to see in print?
I'll continue to post pictures to my social media sites as soon as they become available. I'm also working on a few instructional videos (like how to plan, shoot, and edit Milky Way pictures) and a curriculum for a local astrophotography course I plan to teach sometime soon.
I'm extremely excited to share more of the hidden beauty all around us on this special section of the coast that is revealed after dark through nighttime photography. Thank you for your time and attention and your incredible support.
Regards,
Jeremy
