I was happy to learn that Greg Nelson, a photographer specializing in black-and-white,
silver gelatin and palladium process photography, has a show at The Collective, the Topeka-based art gallery where
I found and purchased a print of a lovely and lonely work called "Spearville, KS." The opening reception
for "The Brickmakers" is this evening. The show runs through April 28th.

I was REALLY excited to see that a new art gallery opened up in town -- and in the mall!
