About the Exhibition
Opening reception: Second Thursday, October 14, 6 - 9 pm

Pinhole Dreams is a collection of works by artists who use pinhole photography to challenge preconceptions of "ordinary life" and to help us us to see the world in a new light.

While some of the photographs in this exhibition take on surreal qualities through the use of image layering, others take advantage of the camera's extraordinary depth of field and wide angles to record people and places in ways that are unusual or uncommon. Other artists use long exposures (days to weeks long) to create other-worldly images that track the progression of the sun in the sky while erasing the appearance day to day trivia like people and cars.

Artists: John Fobes, Jeff Holder, Chris Macan, Scott McMahon, Chris Peregoy, and Scott Speck.
