Carol Guzy will join us via FaceTime for a Gallery Talk on Thursday, August 22, 6-8pm, talk at 6:30. Carol is currently in El Paso, TX documenting the aftermath of the WalMart mass shooting. You’ll hear about her incredible life as a photojournalist and what it’s like to document the human condition around the world.
I’m now a pod cast. Alex Gagne talked with me about what, and how I do what I do, for his pod cast Photo Banter. Here’s the link, so take a listen. The Photo Banter with Alex Gagne.
The Question of Why is the show hang in The Gallery UPSTAIRS. The work of four-time Pulitzer Prize recipient Carol Guzy has opened the eyes of the world to the injustices suffered by too many, and begs for an answer to the question of why. It is our hope that by sharing these images for the Southern Border of the United States and Mosul, Iraq, that you will begin to ask yourself Why?
“We can never really walk in another’s shoes and our greatest challenge as photojournalists is to tell the narrative of others as best we can. My goal has always been to document with depth and intimacy to reach viewers on a visceral, emotional level in hopes of enlightening, educating, and evoking empathy.”

I hope you can stop by to see this impactful and thoughtful show.
Fran Forman and Eileen Powers will be doing a gallery talk on July 2nd, 6-8pm. Fran is best known for her images that are often referred to as photo-paintings. Her pieces were featured in the show Creation:The Composited Image which has been in the gallery since early May. Her work is whimsical and leaves you with a sense of wonder.
Eileen’s images showcase the head pieces made for her project, Make Hair For Me, as a way to express her journey through Lymphoma. These images give you hope and radiate positivity for dealing with something so difficult.
