The East Gallery presents the Fog Fest Invitational Photography Show, featuring the winners of the annual Pacific Coast Fog Fest Photography Contest (Falu Bakrania, Vadim Dymshyts, Kimberlie Moutoux, Dee Parra, Richard Pradenas, Robert C. Reynolds, George Surmaitis, Gretchen Telzrow, Pauline Wakeman, Robert Worobec) and the judges (Alan Grinberg, Edwin Hacking, and Sharron L Walker). While the Contest has specific categories for entry, the Invitational provides the opportunity for each photographer to share the work they would like included in the exhibition.
Photographs by George Surmaitis reflect how nature displays the continuing cycle of death and rebirth, a type of covenant with the promise that this circle will be unbroken. Often something profound is hidden right in front of us. Falu Bakrania is sharing work from a long dreamt of trip to photograph the slot canyons in the Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona. In this series, she captures the stories in the flow of colors, textures, and shapes. In a more intimate collection, Gretchen Telzrow presents an exploration inspired by the essence of an individual of great significance in her life, her mother. She notes, "The play of light and shadow in each frame is more than a visual display; it's an homage to the profound impact she had on my artistic journey". The public is invited to a Gallery Walk and Conversation with the photographers on Sunday, Jan 28, beginning at 3pm.
