| Description: | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Worcester, Mass.) Photographers Take Over Worcester Gallery For A One-Night Show Photographers can be real control freaks. From behind the camera, they crop the composition, manipulate the lighting and adjust the focus. But thats just the beginning. Now theyre taking control of a Worcester gallery for a one-night show. I have my own ideas about what I want to show, and how to show it, said Jeff Haynes, one of the exhibiting photographers and the shows organizer. And while this area definitely has lots of great galleries and talented curators, I just dont have the patience to wait for one of them to get on board with my vision. As a result, Haynes is organizing Things We Project with five other Massachusetts photographers. The show, set for Saturday Sept. 18, 2010 at the Sprinkler Factory, will feature photographers Nicole Chan, Scott Erb, Haynes, Dana Lane, Steve Stearns and Cynthia Woehrle. As the name suggests, this event is designed specifically for each photographer to showcase what he or she aims to achieve as an artist, Haynes said. Each photographer has selected 10 images to represent one cohesive body of work for the show. The six collections vary widely in scope, including figurative, narrative, travel and painterly style photos. Worcester photographer, Scott Erb, has chosen to highlight ten portraits from his Red Room Project for display. Im excited about this show. Its an opportunity for me to showcase some of my favorite images from a year long project. Erb said. This is a chance for the photographers to talk about how they view the world through their respective lenses, Haynes said. I didnt want a show constrained by a single theme - I wanted an honest presentation from each photographer of what he or she likes to shoot. The 60 photos will be presented through a combination of computer displays and digital projectors. The move was made, in part, to save on the costs in printing, matting and framing 60 images. But there were other considerations, too. The projectors certainly add a theatrical element, which I like, Haynes said. And the computer displays provide a relatable interface for viewers. Most of us see a steady stream of images on our computer screens, thanks to the Internet. So the show will feature a variation on a format we have come to accept for viewing photos. The show is scheduled to run from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010 at the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow St., Worcester, Mass. The show is free and open to the public. High resolution copies of sample photos are available to media upon request. Things We Project is a special, one-night-only event happening on Saturday, Sept. 18 from 7:30 to 10 at the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow St. in Worcester, Mass. The show is free and open to the public. http://ThingsWeProject.wordpress.com Contact: Jeff Haynes - show organizer and exhibiting photographer (508) 954-4955 jeffhaynes@me.com or Scott Erb scott@erbphoto.com |
