One of the festival organizers came to visit today. And here’s some other photos of visitors. I have been meditating in the gallery many mornings which has been a great way to connect with the space. I will be leaving on Tuesday so I’m trying to save her these last days of the exhibit.

Today (Friday May 1) from 3 to 5 I will be in the gallery for my “meet the artist” informal event so come on by.

MORIYAMA @daidomoriyamaphotofoundation
An epic exhibition spanning seven rooms, featuring more images than you can shake an old rangy dog at. This retrospective is a monument to a 50-year career defined by relentless experimentation and distinct creative phases.
The installation is wild, combining:
* **Mural-sized reproductions** that dominate the space.
* **Classic framed prints**
* **Small-scale sticker prints** and detailed display cases.
* **A massive slideshow**
It’s a powerful testament to a photographer who has never been afraid to evolve.

19 Victoire Thierrée “Okinawa” (discovery award winner) 👍🏽 fascinating project, exploring the history of foreigners in Okinawa. There is so much more to say about this show 👍🏽Victoire Thierrée discovered the island of Okinawa through the work of photographer Shōmei Tōmatsu (1930-2012) during her first visit to Japan in 2012. Tōmatsu was the first to document the American military presence on Okinawa, leading in 1969 to the publication, Okinawa, Okinawa, Okinawa, a title to which the series of photographs and the exhibition refer directly — like a cry.
In 2019, she explores this territory where thirty-two American military bases remain and 10,000 GIs are still present on the island. She produced a series of black and white photographs with a medium-format 6 x 9 (vertical) camera, focusing on the outskirts of the bases, where majestic nature seems to offer a form of resistance to this occupation.
