Opportunity Weekend – August 26th 2018

There’s an old saying, “When one door closes…check to see if it has lace curtains and photograph the heck out of it. Then, submit it to juried shows!” Actually, as you probably know, that’s not exactly how the old saying goes but, heck, it’s time to re-write some of those old beliefs, is it not?
