Here's yet another rough draft of a second blog post I created for the Rescue:Freedom blog regarding the auction:

We’re excited to announce that Thatcher Kelley will be one of the artists featured in our art auction and benefit happening on Sunday, August 18^th, 2013 from 4 – 7 P.M.  His work can be seen at thatcherkelley.com.  In fact, Thatcher’s photography is currently on display at the auction’s location in Pioneer Square’s The Hub, located at 220 2nd Ave South, Seattle, WA 98104.  And there’s a reason for that.

            In order for us to acquire The Hub as our auction’s location, Andrea, the auction coordinator, needed to curate an art show over the summer for The Hub.  Upon seeing Thatcher’s work at a solo show of his earlier this year, Andrea knew he was just the artist for the exhibit.  As a photographer, Thatcher writes, “Fresh perspectives are what I seek out with my camera.  I’m not interested in replicating photographs I have seen before.  I want to find perspectives that make me and others think and feel differently”.  One just has to view Thatcher’s stunning, larger-than-life photos of land and cityscapes to know this is true. 

            Thatcher’s work can be seen throughout the summer at The Hub and at the Art Auction and Benefit for Rescue:Freedom happening on Sunday, August 18^th from 4 – 7 P.M., also happening at The Hub.  For information on the auction, please visit facebook.com/ArtAuctionforRescueFreedom.
