Jim Fitzgerald
"Symphonies of Light"
Thru August 11
First Friday Gallery Crawl: August 3, 5-8 pm
Many contemporary photographers multiply their megapixels and digitally modify them in pursuit of greater image control, but Jim Fitzgerald of Ventura has gone 180 degrees in the other direction. He makes black-and-white photos using a laborious process developed in the mid-1860s and large- and ultra-large-format view cameras that he builds himself, because "I have found that no other process has given me the quality, beauty and feeling that I can produce. ... I see no other way to express myself," he says. (More)

"The Sea and
Everything In It"
August 14 - September 8 Reception: Sat., August 18, 4- 7 pm First Fridays Gallery Crawl: September 7, 5- 8 pm
The title "The Sea and Everything In It" was taken from a verse in the Bible, Psalm 98:7, "Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!" In the Bible the sea is a symbol for many things, the unknown, all of mankind, etc. This show hopes to convey not only the artist's love of the ocean and the lifestyle around it but also humanity's need for a relationship with its creator.
