The Oakland Street Photographers Who Elevate The Everyday
Broke Ass Stuart - Marissa Joy Clark June 18, 2024
The beauty of the everyday reigns supreme here. The mundane moments we often overlook are exalted. Public transit entrances appear like portals to worlds unknown, silhouettes tell stories that are both personal and universal, a reflection in a subway train window connects two huddled strangers together like family, and a front stoop scene, filled with a cast of characters, each caught in their own moment, gives any Renaissance painting a run for its money in terms composition and emotional impact. At every turn this show makes you sit up and take notice.

Film Review: Erik Mathy - "Ride Slow. Take Pictures."
Bicyclist Erik Mathy rides from San Francisco to Tucson along the historic Butterfield Overland Trail. Lugging his large format camera, handmade ‘dollar bill’ lenses, and shooting on X-Ray film, Erik documents his interactions with a variety of people -- from artists and activists, to the border patrol -- as he explores the subject of migration against the landscape of a politically divided American southwest.
