It’s an exceptional opportunity and honor to have a selection of my “Dance of Flames” images included in “Fire & Water” at the Weston Gallery in Carmel. Established in 1975, the Weston Gallery is one of the oldest photographic galleries in the world, a leader in the field of fine vintage, modernist, and contemporary photography. They specialize in works by masters like Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, and many others.

My image below, “Into the Dark #6” is included.
“The Color of Light”
March 8 through April 8 at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, VT
Arthur Meyerson’s Juror Statement:
In the call for entries for The Color of Light exhibit, I stated that the three themes that interest me the most in photography are light, color and moments. Any one of those elements can yield a strong photograph. Any combination of two of them might produce something special and a mixture of all three can lead to something extraordinary. In selecting the photographs for this exhibit, I was looking for those elements along with some original seeing as well as craftsmanship. Not manipulated photographs that were about effects, but photographs that were effective. Those that make us stop and look. Those that keep us coming back for more. Those that stay with us.

My image below, “Mixed Vantage, Layers” is included.
I’m pleased to share with you that my image “Into the Dark #1” has been juried into “Night Photography: From Dusk to Dawn”, a current exhibit at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont through December 30th. You can view the wide variety of interesting exhibition images in the Online Gallery.
