Brand New Era + Leftovers

So the Brand New Era exhibition of mine is now up at Blue Gallery, Inveresk. The launch held last Thursday attracted about 60 invited guests, and was the largest exhibition launch to be held at Blue, so that was quite an achievement! 6 Prints were sold on the opening night, and so far a further two have sold, as well as a small collection of reprints of some of the shots. I'd really love it if you were in Launceston, and get a chance to check out the exhibition, you contact me with your thoughts and opinions. After talking to a few people since the launch, I'm quite keen on the idea of having a follow up exhibition sometime next year, so here are a few that didn't make the cut this time, that might see the light of day some time soon....Untill next time... Enjoy. SG.

Elvis Costello

On Stage Portrait. If you ever take have tried to take photos at a concert you would appreciate how hard it is to get a shot like this...

Elvis costello is my favourite musician. Full Stop. So when he plays a show in Hobart you can be sure I'll buy front row tickets. Last night was an intimate occasion with Elvis simply playing guitar solo, doing different versions of well known hits of his as well as throwing inThe Beatles's 'Hide Your Love Away' during his track 'New Amsterdam'.

All the photos were taken during the Encore, and Elvis was hamming it up. Happily dancing infornt of the camera for me.

An awesome show it was for all.

Expect and Exhibition update next week!

So, the prints are done, the final 3 big 20X30" ones are being matted up and all systems are go! This exhibition, features only well known acts, 10 from JJJ's Hottest 100 of all time, one act who's sold 145 million albums, some Australian chamipons and a few characters, But to find out who made the cut you'll have to come along or look out for the preview in the Examiner just before the launch date. All the prints are being sold mounted and matted, ready to frame, and they are being priced conservatively, so that people who are fans of music, not just art can afford to buy. Here's a recap:

Brand New Era - Scott Gelston's first exhibition, featuring some of the finest musical faces on the planet.
October 22- November 18th
Blue Cafe, Inveresk (Launceston)
