I am honored to announce that Jean Dykstra has selected the above photograph to be part of the SoHo Photo Gallery’s 2025 National Competition Exhibition. Ms. Dykstra is a freelance editor and art critic and was the last editor of Photograph magazine. The Exhibition runs from July 2nd to July 20th, 2025, and the opening reception is on July 10th.
I am also excited that this exhibited is in SoHo Photo Gallery’s amazing new space which they just moved in to. They are now located in the Chelsea Art’s District close to the High Line and many other galleries. I would encourage you to watch this video of the first exhibition in the gallery which showcases how beautiful the space is.
SoHo Photo Gallery was founded in 1971 by a group of New York Times photographers that believed there was a need in the photographic community for a cooperative gallery where serious photographers could exhibit their personal work and exchange ideas, learn and grow as artists.
The selected photograph is from my portfolio documenting the devastation cause by the Eaton Fire this past January. I found this “frame within a frame” image while photographing in the Jane’s Village area of Altadena, California which had had entire blocks destroyed by the fire. In a recent blog post I wrote about the artistic elements I have found in the devastation and this image is a great example of that. I have been amazed what the intensity of the fire did to buildings, in this case causing a split tone effect in the plaster of a wall that survived. I encourage you to look at my recent blog posts related to the Eaton Canyon Fire photographs as well as the actual portfolio of those images on my website for more information.
