Scott MacNeill, Don Ross and Christopher H. Tenev present a group show of their photography work at the Lambertville Free Public Library Gallery, 6 Lilly St., Lambertville N.J., from Feb. 17 until March 30.
There will be an opening reception for “Three Viewpoints: Three Photographers in Communication With Their Surroundings – a Group Show” from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17.
There are millions and millions of cell phones taking billions of images each year around the globe. For most, a modern phone is an excellent tool for doing the job of recording our personal moments through our time and place.
But there still are artists who prefer using traditional “stand alone” cameras – be they digital or analogue – because these artists have a goal to show a world beyond a simple capturing of everyday existence.
The Three Photographers showing in this exhibition have deliberately chosen film cameras as their specialized tool to explore themes and ideas that are not associated with what are usually referred to as “snapshots.” As with every serious artist, the dedicated photographer is trying to see and explore the world from a very personal perspective.
Tenev (known colloquially as Terbo) through his photography invites viewers to reflect on their own humanity and to wonder at their surroundings.
Ross has embarked on a visual journey of present day Lambertville, through the lens and film of his cameras. “Greetings from Lambertville: A 35mm Film Journey,” is his contribution to this group show.
MacNeill’s contribution to the show is an adventure in time traveling. The New York City of the early 1970s is presented as he saw and recorded it on black and white film.
