Colin Wright's New Photos in the Gallery
Colin Wright has added new photos this week:
Moonrise over Half Dome - $115On a photography expedition at Yosemite National Park , I traveled to Glacier Point to watch the dying sunlight on Half Dome. While watching the glow from the sunset behind me, I was treated to a beautiful moonrise through the thin clouds over the mountains of northern California .
Katy’s Light - $115
Over the last few years, I’ve begun taking to seasons of cycling on the Katy Trail . One particular morning on the trail, the sun filtered through the canopy of trees, and I found myself facing a brilliant light show upon the trail. I moved quickly to capture this stunning play of light and shadow on the trail.
Amber Waves of Grain - $115Taken in northern Arizona , this image was captured during a trip to the Grand Canyon . It was taken on the road from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon and features Humphreys Peak, the tallest point in Arizona . The sun was setting, beautifully lighting up the grain in the field in the foreground.

Life Blood Exhibit is a group art show curated by Jennifer Weigel and themed around
menstruation that will travel to various venues throughout the St. Louis metro region
from 2010 – 2011 and then travel nationally from 2011 – 2012. Each showing will
highlight different artists in the group.
Current Calendar:
Friday, April 9, 2010, 7 – 10 PM: Fort Gondo, preview party kickoff
previews of the exhibition, silent auction, installation by Jennifer Weigel
June 2010: St. Louis Community College - Florissant-Valley
reception: Thursday, June 10, 6 – 8 PM
August – September 2010: Washington University Medical School
By drawing attention to the female body and to the menstrual cycle, artists are able to
comment on this life-giving aspect of womanhood and to celebrate and/or show their
discontent with their own bodies & cycles. We are able to offer commentary on
experience, confront stereotypes & assumptions and educate one another about things
too often left unsaid. Thus we can explore the positive & negative to turn around
preconceptions and help break the taboo surrounding menstruation.
