Hello! Andy Hope this email finds you well. I love your story and sharing that you’re a hometown boy from Madison. I love Madison even though I was born and raised in Milwaukee. The State street Farmers Market always brings fond memories for me. I have been doing some nature photography with my cell phone. Unable to afford a camera at this time…So 2025 is my goal!😊Will be attempting to send you my photos soon…Blessings Ella

Love the emphasis that you're putting into photographers in the Midwest! As a recent college grad from Missouri I feel like there is so little emphasis on the artists from the middle of the country. Starting this blog to hopefully start sharing my work with more people than just college exhibits

Very cool, Andy. Surprised you haven’t done this before and great that you’re doing it now. I’ll put it on my calendar in hopes of taking a drive up to Madison.

Congrats Andy, that is great news! I won't be travelling to Madison, but will travel along on your posts! When I lived in Toronto, most Saturday mornings I would walk Queen St West and always pop in to Stephen Bulger Gallery to sit and look at the current photography shows. Something about photos in real time, framed and hung for all to see and ponder.

Cheers, Nora! We visited Toronto for the Flash Forward Festival years ago and had a wonderful time. I would love to visit again. Someday!
