_________

Iphoneography, or more broadly mobile phone photography, is a genre that has exploded in the last several years due, in part, to higher megapixel sensors, creative apps to process the images, and the highly portable nature of the devices themselves. These advancements have led to a style of picture-making that is both immediate and intimate. Every aspect of our lives, from the banal to the exceptional, are captured and digitally published in a manner that reflects our own individual aesthetic sensibilities and preconceptions of the world. Mobile photography is like a personal diary written in our own unique handwriting.

The show also demonstrates the ability of the smart phone to capture images at a quality that allows for gallery display. With resolution levels of new cameras hovering around 8 megapixels and higher quality lenses prints capturing more detail, enlargements of 16×20 and higher are attainable. The intangible is now tactile, the pixels, ink.

We hope to see you there!

A film by Laurence L. Levin & Justin Schauble

Stryker lead the Historical Division of the Farm Security Administration from 1935 to 1943. The photos in this collection—nearly 200,000 by both established and aspiring photographers, including Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Arthur Rothstein, Edwin Rosskam and many others—became the defining statement of the era.

Purpose-Driven Photography: An Evening with Cristina Mittermeier

Following in the tradition of Lewis Hine, many photographers have learned to use the medium to affect societal and cultural change. With a clear purpose in mind, their photography becomes an incredibly powerful tool to make the public aware of important issues. That increased awareness is the first step toward influencing change.

Come and hear Cristina Mittermeier talk about her evolution from biologist to writer/photographer and how she is using her photography to raise awareness about issues closest to her heart. Passionate and engaging, she will inspire each member of the audience to identify the issue they care most about, and then do something about it!

This is an evening not to be missed.
