Bob Tetro USA Nominee Nature Amateur "Tetons from Cunningham Cabin" The image, shot in the Grand Teton National Park, is among a collection of images shot in Wyoming a part of which has been juried into a Solo Show scheduled for June 2013 at the Art League Gallery in Old Town Alexandria's Torpedo Factory Art Center. I confess some of my shooting in Wyoming was motivated by some very old memories of the 1950's classic movie "Shane" and the abstract, fine art quality to the other images shot there that will be featured in the June show has prompted me to alert Senators Enzi and Barrasso and Congresswoman Lummis to the event. |
