March
Josh Wilfong - Artist Symposia, March 22nd (Sun) 3:00-5:00 PM
Josh Wilfong’s photographs will be on exhibit at Shumei International Institute from March 15 through March 31. He will speak about the work and his feeling about photography at his wine & cheese reception on Sunday, March 22 from 3 to 5 p.m. Josh’s dedication to fine art black and white photography is readily evidenced in the subtle tonality of his prints. His vision and execution, that of large format photography, is unusual for someone working with 35mm style digital cameras. His prints, many from the San Luis Valley, are exquisite renderings of the landscape with which we are familiar, only here we see them through the skilled, reasoned eye of a native craftsman. Please join us at Shumei to view his work and hear his thoughts about the art of photography.
