This event has ended.

The Early Years: Josephine Herrick
Josephine Herrick Project Enhancing Lives through Photography since 1941
These never before seen photographs, taken by Josephine Herrick, the photographers she trained, and wounded veterans during WWII, represent photography as a healing art. From their hospital beds, young men were given hope, inspiration and photographic skills. Today, 72 years later, the Josephine Herrick Project continues to reach communities in-need with free programs combining photography and service.

A New Mexico Portfolio: John Custodio
“New Mexico is a land of contrasts—from ancient civilizations to the development of the atomic bomb. It’s also a land rich in Spanish and Native American cultures and spectacular landscapes. This exhibit features a selection of photographs that range from the formation of river gorges and sand dunes millions of years ago, to churches built during the Spanish Colonial period, to examples of architecture in the heyday of railroad travel and at the beginning of the automobile era.

Portraits: George Greenstein
“Evolution has made our faces objects of intense interest. Social animals that we are, we study each other’s expressions. I often find myself gazing upon portraits, seeking the essential natures of their subjects. In my own photographic work, I want each of my portraits to tell a story. But what is the story they tell? What are my subjects feeling? Who are these people? Sometimes I cannot decide.”

Patterns: Jay Matusow
“I make photographic images that take my predilection for recording the world’s geometry a step further, by extracting beautiful forms, shapes, and linear relationships from ordinary scenes and objects, and exploiting the power of digital manipulation. In each photograph I’ve recorded something which has strong linear and textural elements, and used those elements repeatedly, overlaying, distorting, and sometimes amplifying them, in order to share my state of mind. A swatch of the original un-altered image is displayed adjacent to each work.”

Democracy Matters…in El Salvador: Paul Stetzer
“These images tell the story of a delegation of international observers who went to witness the February 2, 2014 presidential election. CISPES (the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador) trained the delegates in the current political, social, and economic conditions there as well as what to look for. And then Salvadorans voted—in a fair, clean, and transparent election. Democracy matters.”
