The Art of Photography - San Diego!
I’m currently in sunny San Diego for the opening of the Art of Photography!
The Art of Photography Show 2009 is a world-class international exhibition featuring all forms of photographic art. This year they received over 16,000 entries from 57 countries, 111 pieces were chosen for the final exhibition and my image of Franz Joseph Glacier was one of them! The selection was made by Charlotte Cotton, curator and head of the Wallis Annenberg Department of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Cotton was previously curator of photographs at the Victoria & Albert museum and head of programming at The Photographers Gallery.
It feels a great achievment to have my work selected by a leading authority on photography today, especially from such a vast amount of entries! The show opens in just a few hours at the Lyceum Theatre Gallery next to Horton Plaza, Gaslamp quarter, downtown San Diego. It runs for two months until 1st November. So if you’re around this part of the world then go take a visit!
I’m off now to get ready for the opening… Exciting!
There’s a nice piece about it on the Visual site here: http://www.visualforbusiness.com/news/6/2009/36/chris_keenan_image_selected_for_top_photography_show/

Just at San Diego airport about to start the long journey back to UK. The trip was well worth it! The show looked fantastic! With an array of incredibly striking images by photographers from all over the world. Curator Charlotte Cotton & producer Stephen Churchill put a really fantastic exhibition together!

Just got an email from a young photographer who attended the show - there’s a nice review of the show with a big pic of me in front of the Glacier print. Check it out here: http://www.imaginingwonderland.com/blog/2009/09/03/2009-art-of-photography-show/
