This coming Sunday I’ll have a little “open house” (actually, “open shed” is far more accurate), showing off my photos. I have a small number of prints made for a large number of photos, all framed and such, and ready for display. Since my workshop is both enormous and a mess, I’m blocking off the bulk of it via the tried-and-true “clothesline with a tarp” method of wallbuilding. I spent the day walking and driving around dropping off flyers to my neighbors. This will be an interesting experiment, to say the least.
Projected possible failure modes (hey, I’m an engineer):
1) Nobody shows up
2) People show up and hate the photos
3) People show up and hate the prices
4) People show up, love the photos, love the prices, and get set upon by the cats
5) Winter finally shows up and brings with it three feet of snow
6) Yellowstone goes off
7) Spontaneous proton decay
You may laugh, but with luck like mine, nothing seems impossible so long as it’s detrimental.
