I would love to post a bunch of the photos we did for West Nottingham Academy and Boys’ Latin but since they are intended for publication I want the schools to have first dibs on releasing them – so, I’m scrapping that post. Both schools are AMAZING and we had such a blast visiting and photographing the students at each school.
Here are some photos from Dan’s show at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts and also the little write up about it in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts. Dan Watson, a Michigander who lives in Knoxville, Tenn., and travels a lot, is the latest winner of a DCCA solo exhibit in a continuing series seeking proposals for exhibits from artists nationwide.
Watson’s archival digital inkjet photos, “In a Different Light,” portray mundane industrial and commercial building sites outside major cities in America, and he pictures them in color at night.
Watson offers the viewer a direct confrontation with the corrosive and threatening nature of industrial might. Works such as “Earthrise” and “Factory” are almost sinister in character. At the same time, their sensuous colors and night-lit, no-nonsense construction make some of them conventionally beautiful.
Dan’s brother, who is also an artist said, ” ‘the corrosive and threatening nature of industrial might!’ That’s a great review!”
A round of applause after his artist talk..
West Nottingham brought two bus loads of students to the show and Dan had a great time talking to some of his former students about his work.
Like a proud momma I had to take a pic of his name on the sign 
As far as the rest of the trip, basically I got to spend one day in NYC with my BFFE Lindsay Oaks. Dan chauffeured us around all day and we had soo much fun! This one iPhone pic at Central Park is all we have to remember it by 
(It’s small because I think I look bad.)
