The Magic of Light 2015, a Juried exhibit by more than 80 Photographers
| | |
Current Show Runs Through Sunday, January 25
 We start another new year with our popular juried show, The Magic of Light 2015. This is our eighth year with the exhibit where we have invited submissions and have select the best for the show. This year we had more than 80 photographers enter and from that we are exhibiting about 160 fine photographs. We are always very pleased with the participations and exceptional photographs from so many talented photographers. Many have entered each year and we very much appreciate their support of the show and gallery as well as from those participating for the first time. The enthusiasm by photographers and visitors was especially evident during the opening receptions. Wintery weather did not keep a large turnout from enjoying the exhibit - a New Year Photo Festival. We really hope that you are able to visit the gallery to see the exceptional range of photographic styles, subjects, and creativity. Adding to the exhibit are photographs in the East Gallery by Artists-in-Residence, Jim Patton and David Perlman. Gallery Partners have very much enjoyed producing The Magic of Light 2015 for all to enjoy. The Gallery Partners Dick Bennett, who managed much of the show logistics, Carl Crumley, Steve Levinson, Gil Maker, Chairman of the show, Don Menges, Dan Neuberger, Betsy Phillips, John Solberg, Gary Thompson, Phyllis Thompson, and Sheridan Vincent all extend our Best Wishes for 2015 and are really looking forward to another great year at Image City.

Eating Alone Again
by Tom Kredo
 Photographing something that we see in our daily lives in such a way as to make a print that captures the essence as well as adding a strong visual interpretation of the subject, is the mark of an excellent photograph. Using a comfortable diner and its patrons as subject matter, Tom's photograph makes you feel as though you were waiting for a table on a busy holiday morning. Using clever post processing, the image makes the people look more like caricatures than real people and still gives the viewer the feeling of the comfort that will be provided by a warm breakfast surrounded by others doing the same. His use of color adds to the strength of this image, making for a warm and interpretive realistic view of this diner. Diners have been the subject of many artists; consider the work "Nighthawks" by Edwin Hopper. Tom's photograph shows a more modern excellent interpretation of a timeless subject.

Vieux Carré
by Ed Welch
 One of the most magical places in United States is New Orleans with its combination of beautiful buildings, great music, wonderful food, and unbelievable nightlife. Ed has captured some of this wonder in his photograph presenting lamps like stars glowing in this magical night. The people move through the streets almost like blurs focusing the viewer's attention on the magnificent architecture of the buildings and their dramatic lighting. This is the kind of image that makes you either want to return to New Orleans if you've been there before or put it on your bucket list to do as soon as you can.

| Image City Critiques Group Meeting on Wednesday, February 4 at 6:30pm | |
The Image City Critique Group has a new format. Basically there will be a one-time $20 initiation fee and a $5 per session fee. Additionally, all images must be presented as a print (8.5x11-in minimum). We will no longer use the projector to display the images. We meet next on Wednesday, February 4th beginning at 6:30. As this is the first meeting under our new format, there will be no fees charged, but you must bring your images as prints 8.5 x 11-in or larger -- matted if you want. Your assignment is to bring 1 to 3 images you feel are the BEST you took in 2014. We will critique images as well as have a discussion about our new format. Please contact Gil or Don if you have any questions.
