Graham Ward: Camera Obscura

Reception Aug 5, 6-9pm. Graham Ward has put long days and nights on the job: taking pictures with a hand-built camera and developing images from glass plate negatives. "I've always believed artists create the art no matter the tools they choose to use," offers Ward. "A beautiful picture can be created using the simplest of materials." For the photographer and member of Viewpoint Gallery, process is elevated to the level of result. "The effort it takes to get the image is just as important as the image itself. Flaws and imperfections can only authenticate and add to the beauty of the photograph and the process it takes to make the final print." –Sean Flinn
