This has been an exciting year on a number of fronts as I have been advancing my photography career (see highlights below).
Today, I am very excited to announce the re-launch of my new website and the introduction of my newsletter. My new site will provide you with a broad selection and discussion of my work. Also, with interest in my work increasing whether from collectors, galleries or shows organizers the website will presents the unique nature of my photography.
The newsletter will announce new exhibitions; provide details of new work and interesting events or personal stories. Also, when I find articles relating to photography art and collecting, I will include these stories in the newsletter.
I will also use your comments and questions to determine the content of the newsletter. Therefore, I would encourage you to provide your feedback and comments on my website or newsletter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I would also encourage you to pass my website link to family and friends who would have interest in my work. I hope that you will save my website, www.dalemreidphotography.com, as a favourite and check back regularly.

Highlights for 2007
- Now represented by DeLong Gallery in Toronto.
- Exhibited in the Spring One of a Kind Show in Toronto. This was the first time exhibiting with the One of a Kind organization.
- Introduced a new element to my portfolio in my Contact 2007 exhibition 'Constructed Images'. This exhibition allowed the public to see the artist in a new light.
- Exhibited in Southwestern Ontario (Windsor Art in the Park) for the first time.
- Montreal galleries expressed interest in my work at Festival International Expo Art Montreal.
- Received an exclusive invitation to exhibit at the Puerto Rico Art and Wine Fair in October. Financial incentives were included in this invitation. It was with regret that I had to decline the offer due to other exhibition conflicts. During the year, I have also received other exhibition invitations that I had to turn down due to scheduling conflicts.
- Re-launch my new website and introduced my newsletter.
- Releasing new work at the Christmas One of a Kind Show and Sale, Toronto. This work will also be available at the One of a Kind Show in Chicago.
- First exhibition in the United States at the One of a Kind Show and Sale Chicago in December.
Next Exhibition
My next exhibition is the One of a Kind Christmas Show and Sale in Toronto at the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place. I am exhibiting in the last six days of the show (November 27 - December 2, 2007) and you can find me in Booth # P-31. Please come and visit.
Christmas season has arrived and the One of a Kind Christmas Show is a great place to do your Christmas shopping. I have a number of options for that special Christmas gift for you or a family member or a friend. My limited edition prints are priced from $195 to $600 depending on print and edition size. Also, I have a series of open edition matted prints priced from $85 to $250. The open edition prints have been matted to standard frame sizes so that framing costs can be kept to a minimum or if you would like, I can arrange to have the photograph framed for you. The open edition prints represent the same quality as the limited edition prints. I employ the same artist vision as the limited edition prints as well I individually hand print each image using black & white chemistry.
Also, at the One of a Kind Show, I will be releasing new work. The new work focuses on two flowers, the Banana Flower and Bird of the Paradise Flower. What attracted me to these flowers, were because of their unique shapes. Here is a preview of two of the images.
As a reminder, if you come to the first five days of the show, you can get a pass for free re-admission. Just ask for a pass on your way out. Click here for a flyer for the One of a Kind Show. Print it out and bring it to the show for $2 off your admission price.
Seasons Greetings
As my next newsletter is not until 2008, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
