Silver & Steel
Our first show of the new year  will open on January 3, 2017 featuring the railroad photography of Brian Solomon. The Meet the Artist Reception will be held at 5:30 - 7:30 on January 27. There will be a lecture and video presentation by Mr. Solomon.

Brian Solomon Silver & Steel 

During January 2017, I'll have an exhibit of railway photography at the Valley Photo Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. The show will run from January 3 to January 28th in the Tower Square mall (formerly Bay State West) in downtown Springfield. The address is: 1500 Main St, Springfield, MA 01103, USA
The exhibit will feature photographs spanning two decades from the late 1980s to 2008, and depict trains in a variety of settings.
Among my underlying themes are scale and environment. Consider the contrast between the view of a light rail tram crossing the Danube in Budapest and the very large print of a freight car wheel in West Virginia. Other highlights include a Conrail stack train crossing Pennsylvania's Starrucca Viaduct, and Union Pacific freight rolling through California's Feather River Canyon at the North Fork Bridge.
This is a rare opportunity to buy my framed photography. All prints displayed are available for purchase.
A reception will be held on the evening of Friday, January 27, 2017 between 5:30 and 8:00pm. I'll be there to give a live slide show (with real 35mm color slides!) Refreshments will be served. This is scheduled to coincide with the Railroad Hobby Show in West Springfield, just across the Connecticut River.

We are holding monthly meetings at the Valley Photo Center, Upper Level, Tower Square, 1500 Main St, Springfield, MA on the third Wednesday of the month at 7 PM.
