This exhibition celebrating the legacies of LIGHT (1971-1987), a significant early photography gallery, and will focus on characteristics identified by those who visited, worked, showed, and were impacted by the gallery. There are many aspects to the show and my work will be included in the flat file contemporary section of the gallery. Each work will be available for patrons to view and examine in detail the prints matted as was the standard for LIGHT gallery. Some artists previously represented by LIGHT are Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, André Kertész, Emmet Gowin, and Garry Winogrand.
