Preparing for our upcoming show at the Spokane Falls Community College Photo Gallery in the lovely new art building. We hang the show next week and it will be up through April. Included in the show will be some newly printed work and prints that have never been exhibited outside of our home studio. Here are a couple: Bill’s from deep in the needles of Canyonlands Utah (recently printed for the first time in the darkroom), and Kathy’s Dante’s View in Death Valley looking down at Badwater Basin (print toned in sepia and selenium). More details to come and we’ll let you know when a reception date is nailed down!
