Earlier this year, the folks at Camerawork Gallery invited me to have a late summer show in their Scranton, Pennsylvania, gallery. I was intrigued by a very simple display approach they had been using as an alternate to traditional mats and frames for photographic prints. They've got walls, and they've got thirty sheets of 11x14-inch Plexiglas. Simplicity itself. This appealed to me right away as a way to show some of what I've been doing on this blog, but now as ink-on-paper prints rather than pixels on a screen.
So, how to choose which of the nearly 2,000 pictures that have appeared here? The thought came to me of narrowing the selection down to pictures made in the state of Pennsylvania. There was still a large selection, partly because I did a lot of digital capture photography around the state on road trips associated with my 2007 Camerawork show, "Coal Country." I hope some of you can stop by for the reception on Friday, August 6, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. For a little more information about the show and a peek at some of the pictures included, head over to the Camerawork Exhibition web page.

Congratulations! And could you show an example of their display method?
Also the photo on the poster is wonderful.
Thanks, Dennis. When I'm out there for the opening I will do a set of installation shots--probably snaps at the opening too--and put a gallery up on my website with a link from here.
I had to smile when I clicked on the link to Cameraworkgallery and saw the first photo.
Have fun! Unfortunately I can't attend the opening, ;-).
