Greetings!
We have had a busy few weeks in the Photography Department with the high school exhibition opening reception and the Michael Furman lecture at the Simeone Foundation Museum that I hope you were able to attend. We had a wonderful turn out at both events. If you missed the opening reception, please stop by the Photography Facility Gallery to view the show when you have a free moment, it is up until the end of February. We are in the midst of planning more special events, lectures, and demonstrations for the future. |

Stuart Rome Exhibition Stuart Rome's acclaimed landscape images draw their inspiration from the writings, journals and illustrations of many of the great progenitors of natural science. In his latest exhibition, Signs and Wonders, Rome explores the relationship between people and their environment and examines the visual evidence, present in the landscape, of our cultural priorities and history. His eloquent black and white prints lead the viewer into a game of hide and seek through hidden worlds.�
Signs and Wonders is a solo show of new work commissioned by the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, Florida and will be on exhibit from February 10 - May 29, 2011. The exhibition will have an accompanying book/catalog and is scheduled to travel after the show closes at the museum.
