| Ted Orland | Scenes of Wonder and Curiosity |
|
||||||
|
Acclaimed photographer Ted Orland is more than just an artist, he is a philosopher. He is concerned with the big questions: "How do we make sense of the world? What are we doing when we make art? And for that matter, what is Art?" Mr. Orland has explored these questions throughout his life in his art and his books,The View from the Studio Door and Art and Fear (with co-author David Bayles). |

| Gordon Hutchings | THIRTY YEARS OF PYRO |
|
||||||
|
For most of his life, Gordon Hutchings has had a camera in his hands. At age 8, he purchased his first camera with 50 cents and some cereal box tops. The non-stop experience of taking pictures has granted him the distinction of master printer and expert large format photographer. Further continuing his education, in 1978, he began a focused attempt to learn and master the everelusive technique called Pyro. Mr. Hutchings' "little" endeavor in experimentation evolved into a 10-year research project which led to the resurrection of the use of Pyro and the authorship of: The Book of Pyro. Now in its fourth printing, it is widely known as the go-to reference guide for developing film using Pyro. During the opening of this exhibition, Mr. Hutchings will be on hand to provide a unique insight into his individual works; and into the World of Pyro.

| Ryuijie | "RECENT WORKS" |
|
||||||
|
The world beneath the ocean's surface off the central coast of California is cold, silent and swarming with otherworldly life. "Kanchi", translates from Japanese as "quiet place," is a fitting title for this body of work. When diving, the body moves freely in a weightless, silent, meditative state. The underwater world was Ryuijie's first source of inspiration and the birthplace of his first photographs. Thirty years later he has come full circle, finding inspiration for images in the big blue. "The water nurtures me, washes away my pain and rewards me with photographs I love." Photographed in collaboration with assistant Camille Lenore, Kanchi illustrates a deep respect for the Oceans and for the life that inhabits them. Moving from liquid to solid, Ryuijie captures botanicals frozen in solid ice succeeding in interrupting the life process of various floras and timelessly preserving their beauty. We invite you to join us and share in the festivities as we showcase a collection of black & white silver gelatin prints by Ryuijie. |

| Ray McSavaney | An American Retrospective Of Flowers, Landscapes & Bridges |
|
||||||
|
Landscapes - McSavaney's main concentration in the 1970's - has continued to capture his interest in both natural and man made form. Bridges - over the Los Angeles River - began in 1979. Flowers - began in the late 1990's when frequent rains resulting from Southern California's El Nino effect on the environment made it difficult to work outdoors. However, all three projects continue to be a work in progress for McSavaney. |

| Jennifer Loomis | Portraits of Pregnancy: The Birth of a Mother |
|
||||||
|
PORTRAITS OF PREGNANCY: THE BIRTH OF A MOTHER - A RETROSPECTIVE features the fine-art photography of celebrated maternity photographer, Jennifer Loomis. Loomis has been hailed for her work in distinguished publications and media like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, CNN and many more. Loomis' photography is much more than simply the documenting of womens' pregnancies. It is a delicate, refined study and appreciation for a period in an expecting mother's life when she in many ways reaches the apex of her femininity, as the carrier and protector of new life. All of her images are shot on black and white film, which accurately captures the curves, swells and changes in her subjects' bodies that not only signal the impending arrival of the child within, but also the transformation of that subject's existence from merely female into motherhood. |

| Frank Jackson | "@ see level" |
|
||||||
|
Frank Jackson is a former Florida resident and artist who made his way West, where he discovered his penchant for traditional darkroom photography. Ranging in formats from diminutive 110 to the giant 8"x10", his work has allowed him to travel around the world in search of the perfect monochrome image. "I prefer shooting in black and white," says Jackson, "because it forces the viewer to look at the essence of an image... its form, tone, light, and shadow, instead of being distracted by the decorative efforts of color." |

| Brent Wood | "Lost But Not Forgotten" |
|
||||||
|
"Lost But Not Forgotten" is the result of a thirty year love affair between Freestyle Photographic Advisory Board member Brent Wood, and the broken down, dilapidated buildings that dot the various recesses of the American landscape. Forgoing digital in favor of older traditional and alternative cameras and development processes, Wood's distinctly analog approach marries itself perfectly to the vintage nature of his subject matter. His images take the viewer back to a slower, more deliberate time that existed before the rapid, impersonal atmosphere of the modern digital age. |
