A Night at the Museum (of Work & Culture)

I'm one of five local photographers who are exhibiting art at the Museum of Work & Culture in Woonsocket, RI during May and June. It's been really exciting to be part of a show!

There's a pretty diverse range of photographic interests among the group. Ranging from portraiture of children and adults, character studies, and urban blight, to seascapes, still lifes and belted Galloway cows, there is something for everyone to enjoy!


We hosted a Reception for friends and family on May 30th at the Museum. There's nothing to compare to the rush when a stranger is admiring one of your photographs! Viewing each others' work also gives us a push to break out of our own comfort zones and photograph things we normally don't normally go after. Personally, the urban blight has to be on this side of the chain link fence for me to consider it. I pay attention to the "No Trespassing" signs, but that's why I don't get some of the cool images that Mike (center) gets! Luckily, there are plenty of photo ops without rounding fences when he and I have gone out shooting! It's all a matter of "seeing" something others miss.




Here are the images I had on display for the exhibit!
