Sometimes "wrong" is much more compelling

78 Photography Rules for Complete Idiots.

Seriously, some of the wrong images are so much better.

Photo Shoot-Kiehle Gallery-Sean Smuda

Monday, Nov. 2 at 2:30 pm, Sean Smuda -- website -- will be doing a photo shoot in the Kiehle Gallery for a new work in his ongoing Dreams and Allegories series.

He is looking for participants willing to wear hunter’s outfits and become part of the work. You will need to bring your own outfits, - blaze orange or camouflage is OK. Basically his idea is to have hunters represent art patrons positioned in relation to his Blueprint series as he climbs a ladder with a declining Dow Jones chart around his neck.

If you would be interested in participating, please let know Prof. Bill Gorcica (wagorcica@stcloudstate.edu) know so that he can keep a tally of the number of people and give more information.
