 Eyes in the Dark

Astrophotography exhibition

The Groove Artspace

309 Gold Ave. SW, Albuquerque

10AM to 4PM, Tues through Saturday to May 30

- There is a nice long article with pictures in todays' Albuquerque Journal about this show that has been organized by photographer Sarah McIntyre.  I occasionally see photos made on film of the moon, but as in this show, astrophotographers these days mostly use very sophisticated digital cameras, long lenses and highly precise tracking hardware and software. Entry is free to the exhibit.

(Actually, there is at least one NM photographer who does both analog and digital astrophotography: Shane Ramotowsky. )

39th Annual Car Show

Albuquerque Museum

Sunday, May 18, 10AM - 3PM

The museum website makes no mention of this event.  I would have overlooked it had not Margaret called my attention to a note in the paper.  Now, I realize that car shows like this one do not necessarily suggest a connection to photography, but for me they do.  I think the attraction for me is partly the period design aesthetic that unites my old cameras to the old cars on display.  So, for that and other issues, I have used a lot of film over the years making pictures of cars.
