Photo On Exhibit
True Colors #3 was part of Visual Rhythms / Ritmos Visuales, an all-media juried exhibition that embraces the flavors and rhythms of Latin American influenced art and culture, July 28 – September 3, 2007 sponsored by Target Gallery, Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
The storefront photo was taken in Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico. Beyond the clutter of typical-style pottery and items for sale, a child in a high-chair peeks out from behind a shelving unit. The chair in front of the child indicates that someone, probably Mom, no doubt also the store-owner, was there a few moments before, feeding him or her. Two dogs and some pigeons scan the floor for leftovers. The room has a courtyard open to the sky, typical of the area, and there are more pigeons up on the window ledge of the back wall.
