A view of the curved-wall gallery area at the library and my photos as I placed them. There was one other, larger image placed near the entrance to the gallery and a staff office.The gallery could use better lighting. Donations, anyone?
I started out the post-holiday work week hanging my photos in the gallery area of the Westlake Porter Public Library. It took longer unpacking the pictures from their shipping materials (layers of bubble wrap taped shut around each framed picture) than it did to actually hang them. The library provides adjustable hangers that attach to a modern picture molding near the ceiling of the gallery areas. As I was hanging the pictures a couple strode up and remarked, “We’re here to see the pictures. Not much here.” They spent a grand total of about 15 seconds before they turned heel and walked away. A few minutes later a couple of library volunteers took a few moments from their work, storing books for an upcoming fund-raising sale, to look at the pictures. They expressed their admiration, wondered where the pictures were taken, and spent a decent time looking at them. All to be expected, I suppose, but I’d not experienced the extremes in such quick succession!

Hard to believe just how rude some people are. Looks like a lovely display to me!
The folks in question did not look like they were very happy … about anything. I was more puzzled than upset. — JG
