| "Root Fusion" by Steve Root |
|
Runs Through March 22
 Steve Root, a Pittsburgh artist, is our featured photographer for the current exhibit "Root Fusion". With meticulous precision, Steve positions individual photographs in an arrangement that produces a larger image with wonderful patterns that are reminiscent of kaleidoscopes or quilts. Peter Marr described the work "Steve Root has a superb artistic eye for creating montages of a single image, in a way that invites the viewer to see and feel what they might not normally experience by looking at the individual picture. His prints also display a consummate technique in arranging, mounting and presentation of these montages." Guest Photograpers during "Root Fusion" are Michaela Cultrara, Hope Junot, Max Remple, Jeanne Sozio, Sa Kim Tran, and Steve Tryon.

The size of the East Gallery allows the show of 10 to 12 photographs. Special mention of the East Gallery mini-show will appear on the invitation cards and posters of each of the ICPG show.
The work of Gil Maker, our newest Artist-in-Residence, is exhibited this month in the East Gallery. If you want more information or if you wish to book the East Gallery, please visit us at the Gallery, call us at 585-271-2540 or contact info@ImageCityPhotographyGallery.com. |

Meet the Artists-in-Residence
In the last issue of the newsletter we introduced the seven gallery partners. This month it is a pleasure to introduce you to our three artists-in-residence with brief statements from each of them. They all show work during each show at Image City.
Gil Maker "My philosophy of photography: If an image excites you, take it. That image will never come around again, so you only have one chance. It may be a keeper or not, but if you don't take it, you'll never know."
Jim Patton "Capturing a sense of place means going well beyond photographing the buildings and landscapes of the exotic places I visit. I want to capture the people in their natural surroundings. Nevada Wier said it best: "The world doesn't sit up and say 'Cheese' for you." I work to make this happen."
David Perlman "I developed my first roll of film under a bright red safelight. Only 13, I was crushed when the result was solid black! So, I started learning about photography and how panchromatic film could see red. Studying electrical engineering, practicing it, and then teaching it diverted my attention for a while, but here I am - still with a camera. It's digital now and I use a computer, but the creative process is as exciting as ever."
The diverse work of Image City Photography Gallery's Artists-in-Residence significantly enhances the photographic flavors on exhibit for each of our shows. |
| Gary Thompson's Photo Tip of the Month |
|
 Watch for Interesting Patterns
In composing images, look for repeating patterns and/or shapes. This repetition is called "echoing" and can be very pleasant to the viewer. In the image, "Wave of Zion", there are three areas of echoing: foreground, middle ground, and sky. Notice that the curved lines within each area are not only parallel but also have radiating character.

| My Image - "Storm Waves" |
|
by Bill Bernbeck
My Image, "Storm Waves" is from my Walkabout Journal.
Rain and wind beat the island mercilessly during the night and most of the next day. It was not a major gale by most standards, but it was enough to encourage one to stay indoors. The storm finally broke by late afternoon, and the sun started to make a meek appearance through the scattering clouds. I had been cooped inside long enough, so I ventured to watch the remaining light of day at one of the south shore beaches. Pack up the camera gear and head for Surfside. . . . .

| Image City Partner, Dan Neuberger's "Ode to My Manhattan" |
|
Runs through April 25 at The Gallery at One Bausch & Lomb Place
"I was very pleased to receive an invitation to have a one person show at the prestigious The Gallery at One Bausch & Lomb Place, and I have put together an exhibit I have been thinking about for years... about my beloved Manhattan."
"Putting the exhibit together has involved my revisiting some images I had forgotten I had, and I had a great time. If these images also please someone else, it will bring additional joy to me."
