I'm really sorry it ended this way. I keep thinking... You know I'm a regular at exhibitions of any kind and keep thinking if choosing the wrong place to exhibit is the reason. I'm not sure why you choose a café, maybe you thought it's the best place or because that was available, I don't know. Maybe the idea behind it was that people would go there to have a cup of coffee and also have a chat about art or life in general. I keep thinking you might have targeted the wrong crowd or the crowd in the wrong place. Don't bite my head off please.

I'll tell you something else. There's a photo club in my city. Don't ask me what are the requirements to become a member as I have no clue, but I suppose you would qualify for a photo club in your city. These photographers have regular exhibitions in dedicated exhibition rooms, where people go to, to see art of any kind. Have you tried to pursue this route? Being independent is great but being part of a club would give you some advantages you need to get started.

Again, don't bite my head off. Just an idea from someone who has some experience in this field. There's a place, a café in my city that is hosting small exhibitions, or maybe I should say they are exhibiting art on the wall, but that doesn't mean they can attract the appropriate crowd as people go there for a cup of coffee in the first place. I rarely visit the place because it makes me feel awkward.
