S3V3RANC3 PA(rt)Y

Update: There will be another evening reception for the "Summerotica" show Saturday, August 18 from 8pm to midnight. So if you missed the opening, here's your second chance!"


Had a few minutes to go through the snapshots from the opening reception for the Midwest Society of Erotic Photography show last Saturday at the S3V3RANC3 Gallery in Detroit. Thanks to Josefine and Matt for all their efforts to pull off the show, and thanks to Adam, Iris, BT and all the MWSEP photographers who participated and promoted the show. It was great meeting a few more of the photographers from the group, a new model or three, and seeing familiar faces again. Not the greatest night for sales, but it was a good time, and I may have three or four new shoots lined up, and that's what's important, right?

Sadly, my little P&S didn't do such a great job, and a few shots I had hopes for didn't pan out at all, but still have a few here to serve as presentable documentation. At the top is the smoking lounge of the gallery with its cryptic "Okeh Dokey" logo, and at left, the lovely Heather checks out my pieces in the show. Below, we have: the crowd on the second floor; the Glitterati; Iris and Lela compare notes with AJ Kahn; Heather with hubby John; Iris and Lela posing with "The Luckiest Man in Canada™" Stephen Thorne; Lisolette Gilcrest pitching her portfolio; Stephen Thorne's corner of the show; the bustling museum store with the ever-present Adam at right; the crowded first floor space; spontaneous dancing; MWSEP ringmaster BT with Lela; the upstairs exhibit space pre-show, the downstairs space pre-show, and another corner of the upstairs space. You get the idea.




The show runs three more Saturdays in August, from 10am to 3pm, or by appointment, so check it out!
