The Department of Visual Arts of Union College is hosting an Invitational Photography Exhibit in the Burns Arts Atrium Gallery of the Arts Building, starting today, Thursday, Feb. 9, and running through Friday, March 17. The exhibit features more than 30 photos from two inspiring young artists: Cal Crary '00 and William Lamson, freelance photographers in New York City.
Each photographer will display 15 color prints. The photographs are digitally derived but made in the mode of “straight photography,” without computer alterations to the images other than those necessary to control the fine printing of the color images.
“They have both had good experiences as starting professional photographers, so I think they can offer things to our students in ways different than a life-long photographer whose credentials seem more remote or unachievable by students,” said Martin Benjamin, professor of photography.
To view work by these two artists, visit their Web sites at www.calcrary.com and www.williamlamson.com.
The Burns Arts Atrium Gallery, located in the Visual Arts Building, is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (518) 388-6714 or visit http://www.union.edu/PUBLIC/AVADEPT/crary_lamson.html.
