Color Fidelity in the Digital Workflow

Sunday afternoon master printer and photographer, Wojtek Wojdynski, presented techniques for managing color consistency from start to finish in digital photography. About 25 people attended this first free workshop at Through This Lens. We hope to make other presentations as well as continuing with our history of artists' receptions and talks.

Friday, March 4th, artist, Connie Imboden, will give a talk and visual presentation during her reception. Since this will take place at a special time, please note that Through This Lens will stay open until 8PM that evening. The presentation will begin at 7PM sharp.

Vicki H. Wilson Reception Bright and Tasty

Last Friday, February 18th, Vicki Wilson's opening reception was a smash. Ms. Wilson's photographs, all printed on canvas, are bright and cheery to go along the the promise of Springtime - hopefully not far off. Her daughter and friends also laid a fabulous table. While you missed some great food, the photographs will be on display through April 9th - so don't miss that chance too. Food photograph courtesy of and copyright by David Page.

New Grossman Prints Arrive

We have just received new prints of Will Grossman's "Sunbeam" - the most popular image ever exhibited at Through This Lens. The image is iconic, and at first looks like it could have been made in the 1930s. It was shot in 1974, when Grossman was a relative newcomer to the area. We have several other prints from this series, but "Sunbeam" is a must see. The prints are signed by the artist, and printed on cotton-fiber with fade-resistant Epson inks. Prints are available in 8x12, 11x17 and 16x24 inches.

Blue Greenberg, Arts writer for the Herald-Sun newspaper in Durham, NC, has written a very favorable review of Jon Kolkin's exhibition "Equilibrium" currently on display at Through This Lens. If you want to see the article you'll find it on page D3 of the October 22 issue of the paper - or click Herald-Sun Kolkin Article to read on-line.

Also, a semi-private reception will be held on Sunday, October 24th. Jon will speak at 4PM. The art and the food will make it worth your while. PS: If you are reading this, then you're invited!

Invitation to Jon Kolkin Exhibition + Web Site Updates

Jon Kolkin's Equilibrium series of photographs is set to open Saturday, September 25th. The work is somewhere on a truck traveling from it's previous exhibition venue in Maine. Given the timing, we will hang the show on Friday of this week. I hope all of you will join us for the artist's reception from 6 - 8 PM Saturday night. Dr. Kolkin will speak about his photographs at 7 PM.

Life on Mars Part I series by Jean-Christian Rostagni has just been restored to our site. Originally, this series was shown on our older framed site and had been off-line since our updated design went live.

Goodloe Suttler's Underneath the Underwing is now down. We have retained one of the framed images, and Mr. Suttler has also provided a small set of prints for reference.

New Name and Web Site Changes

Lots of changes are in process. Perhaps you have noticed a new look to our web site. More images will be displayed than we've had in the previous version. Look for new additions weekly.

New Name: Framed and Printed will become the name for the service side of our business. You will still be able to get there from throughthislens.com but we've also added framedandprinted.com to provide a separation between the gallery and our framing and printing businesses. The gallery provides motivation, but the services pay the bills - so please check us out if you need anything framed, frames repaired, or photos and displays printed.

Underneath the Underwing by Goodloe Suttler has just over a week longer on display. If you haven't seen it yet, come on down before 4 PM on September 18th. A new exhibition of work by Jon Kolkin will go on display beginning September 25th. More news to follow.
