Description:
From June until September of 2014, a group of photographers from many countries shared their creative work within the intense framework of providing one artistic submission per day for 100 days. The project was so popular that we decided to organize a traveling show to share our work with others. Curated by Barbara Gal, NEXT Gallery presents the first exhibition in this traveling project, showing the work of 17 photographers and one poet.

Posted for 100 Days of Summer 2014 (Facebook Group): 100 ~ drop (well…a loose interpretation of “drop” which is kind of like “fall.” And when I think of “fall” I think of “Autumn.” Which means saying goodbye to summer. And with this post, on the last day of the 100 Days of Summer 2014 project, I thank the many photographers who provided 100 days of inspiration! Thank you, all!

Day of rest.
A time for healing.

One season
flows into the next.
Hot Summer
days replaced
with cool nights, surrounding us
with colors of Fall.

ACROSS GRAY SKIES

Seeing only gray
reflected in the world
around her,
downcast eyes
saw kites across gray skies;
tails trailing freely
on hopeful breezes.
