EMERGE: A JURIED PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
PRESENTED BY THE HUNTINGTON BEACH ART CENTER
JURIED BY CHRIS BARTOLUCCI, ED TEMPLETON,
AND DRAKE WOODSON
SEPTEMBER 16– OCTOBER 22, 2022

I am happy to announce that the above two photographs are included in this local exhibition opening in two weeks at the Huntington Beach Art Center.

The venue is nice and located in downtown HB where it is very accessible. I am especially honored that this group of judges selected my work. I have respected Ed Templeton and his work, for some time. Chris Bartolucci and Drake Woodson are also two other important members of the Southern California photography community.

If you are in the area hopefully you can stop by and check it out. The opening is Friday September 16th from 6:30 - 9:00 pm. There is also a Curator Talk on Wednesday September 21 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm

We went over to eat at the Bear Flag restaurant in the Pacific City mall in Huntington Beach early this month and I came across Ron Church’s surf photographs in the Pacific City Gallery space. I know I have seen his work before but never in an exhibition format. Ron was a pioneer in photographing surfing and underwater, but unfortunately he passed away from a brain tumor at only 39 years old in 1973. His images are fantastic documents of the iconic “Endless Days of Summer” era of the Southern California beach scene. I don’t know how long this work will be up but if you are in HB at Pacific City make a point to see it. There are also several catalogs of his work out which look very interesting, worth getting to his work.
