APG's Push Pin Event


Thanks to all of the photographers who came out for a fun night at the gallery on February 25th! If you weren't able to attend, stop by the gallery before March 16th to see what you missed. Prints will remain hanging until that date. All participating photographers, please pick up your remaining work during regular gallery hours, March 16th through the 19th.  

 

Special thanks goes out to APG members Tom Meyer for his beautiful instant portraits throughout the event, as well as Martin Krohne and friend, Joe, for providing a great night of musical entertainment!

Susan Barmon


Susan Barmon recently had a 5 page article about her work published in the online magazine, CSA Journal (issue 48, 2010).

Susan Barmon - CSA Magazine      

"Photographer Susan Barmon captures natural and man made objects with the lens and transforms them into something more than still life. Her photographic "documentaries," too, give viewers a glimpse into  

settings they would otherwise never experience." --Karen M. Lazarus, BFA, CSA Journal

Ellen Jantzen

 

Ellen Jantzen is the featured photographer for the March/April 2011 issue of the online magazine, Ragazine. The article includes work from her latest series and from work completed in 2010.

 

� Ellen Jantzen     

"Credulity" � Ellen Jantzen

 

"The web is filled with a wealth of photographic material, some charming, some 'anyone could do', some that takes you by the shoulders and shakes you awake, some that puts you to sleep. Ellen Jantzen's photographs call you back, like the memory of an event you can't shake - images that cling, bringing to mind past events, and casting light on an unknown and mysterious future." --Ragazine Magazine
