VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Well, this is a big milestone for me, folks. It’s also going to be a hell of a learning experience. And so I figured, hey!…let’s learn together, shall we?
What is this big milestone, you ask? My first ever fine art photography solo exhibit, that’s what. Yes, fine art photography. Not that janky “okay art photography” everyone else is doing. And hey it only took me 23 years of pursuing photography to get it, but who’s to say that’s a long time? I mean…my inner critic does. But F that guy. He’s always a Debbie Downer. I’m just thrilled to be given this opportunity. This is going to something I look back on with fondness in my old age (“Ah, you remember my first solo exhibit? That was a lot of work, but I sure had fun doing it. Also, how do I restore my backup consciousness from the cloud? And what’s wrong with kids these days with their holograms and AI-generated music? Remember when everyone had jobs?).
So I’m going to try to soak in every moment of this process. The fun, the stressful moments, the anticipation, the fear…it’s all part of the journey, brother. I’m only going to have a first solo exhibit once in my life, so I better absorb every last bit of it.
The exhibit in question is titled “American Desert” and will be at the beautiful Casa Romantica Cultural Center in San Clemente, CA starting in September and going through December. I’ll be putting all sorts of analog photography images on display - all with a unifying “American Southwest” theme. So we’re talkin’ lots of 4x5 Polaroid peel apart film and 6x17 images of saguaros. Can ya dig it?
I’ll be posting videos in (somewhat) real time as I progress through this process, so keep an eye out for more coming soon.

Well deserved Nick. Disneyland isn’t a good enough reason to make the pilgrimage from New Zealand to Orange County; but a Nick Carver exhibition? Yep that’ll do it.

I lived in San Clemente for about 7 years from mid 90's to early 2000's. Before eventually buying a house, I rented a place which turned out to be one of the original Ole Hanson homes. Never went to Casa Romantica, but I can definitely see the Ole Hanson flair with similar features to the place I rented. Congratulations on the show.

❤🇺🇸 One thing I realized - if you want to be a GREAT photographer you MUST have an "American" project in your portfolio :) Just a few examples: Americans - Robert Frank American Photographs - Walker Evans American Prospects - Joel Sternfeld American Surfaces - Stephen Shore American Power - Mitch Epstein American Night - Paul Graham American Mirror - Philip Montgomery American Index - Taryn Simon (there are a few younger folks) American Geography - Matt Black American Cloud - Kaj O’Connell (Surprisingly Alec Soth doesn't have a project with a word "American" in its title. But most of his photo projects are very American in its core.) Even if you are a Canadian, you still have to make an "American" project: American Mile - Kyle McDougall 🇨🇦 American Squares - Leah Frances 🇨🇦 American Dreams - Ian Brown 🇨🇦 Well, you get the point… So American Desert officially puts Mr. Carver in the pantheon of greatest photographers in human history 😁 Good luck with your solo exhibit, Nick! ❤

I recently held my first exhibit, I remade old photographs of my town as close a possible to the original ones and it was a HUGE success... I mean, it was free entrance but hundreds of people showed in a town with 1500 people! Now I'm looking into expanding it to all the towns of my valley to have a bigger portfolio and maybe make some money off it, which wouldn't hurt :D That said, It was so cool hearing all the comparisons between old and new and all the stories from older people, some of which were present in the old pictures! Good luck for your exhibit!

I'm keenly interested in this series. Selecting the images to use of course but also how to present them so that there is harmony. How to frame them, what sizes, how to hang them to create flow without clutter. I think this will be very helpful but getting that many prints framed and ready by the deadline would scare me to death. I'm anxious to see how this progresses. I'm most interested in the shadow box frames and mats so if you have opportunity in a future video to do a close-up that would be great.

Another great video Nick. Can't wait to see how this pans out over the coming months. This is completely off topic but when you are a little less busy, I'd love you to do a video of how you have set up/use that big silver chunk of OWC enclosure on top of you desk. I need to upgrade my external storage soon. All the best.

Nick to now have gone (delay time on video content) and possible still going through designing the artwork for your own artwork to hang in a gallery of your own artwork must be so exhilarating and deeply pleasurable on a level that’ll never be reached by most so it’ll be a total joy for us to view your efforts within the coming videos - good luck and enjoy there is no ‘negative space’ with this ride

"Ole" is a Danish boy's name and "Hansen" is very common as a surname. I think Ole Hansen emigrated from Denmark. Good luck with your exhibition.
@CanWeSolveIt 11 ай бұрын
I was just about to comment something similar but instead of Denmark i'd go with either Norway or Sweden, given the surname Norway would be my best bet.
