MICHAEL ANSELL | SILHOUETTES AND STILL LIFE'S
I am influenced by the Pictorialism approach to photography. I'm interested in composition, tonality and shapes. Add some social commentary and you have the basis of this show.
I try to reduce as much detail as possible. It's the impression that matters. The fact that the images have a soft and out of focus look adds to the pictorialism style.

GREG HATTON | THINGS YOU SEE
The work shown is a small sampling of the things we see along the way. Moments that without evidence might be overlooked or if seen for a second, might not be remembered.
It's about the small details of life and in the world around us.
I find a lot of magic in these places and in those moments.
Raw humanity is exposed. Wonder can be examined.
And there's even an opportunity to revisit what sent us down the road to begin with.
As an example, the image of the "Sister Cities" is an image that I first captured in 2002 on an old phone. The fingerpost hinted to me that the world wasn't so far away. A hint I followed and all these years later and with all the places traveled; the first time seeing that post pushes me to this day.
Earlier this year I came back to the monument, reframed it exactly and captured it. Simply to tell the story.

DANIEL SACKHEIM | UNSEEN
There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
As a child, the approach of bedtime filled me with dread. I embodied the quintessential image of a child, tightly clutching his trusty flashlight, haunted by the fear that elusive specters might be lurking beneath my bed, or concealed within the pitch-black darkness of the closet. Those fears, now distant memories, have been supplanted by an artistic fixation bordering on obsession. This pursuit has guided me into a maze of desolate city streets, bathed in the flickering glow of streetlights that seem to scarcely pierce the ominous depths of these urban wildernesses.
This body of work explores life in the shadows of an urban jungle. My inquisitiveness is rooted in a need to discover the secrets that lie hidden deep within even the most forbidding corners of the city. To excavate the past, to stare into the faces of ghosts long forgotten.
Inspired by the visual aesthetic of Film Noir, this work explores isolated fragments of subjects once there but now gone, as a means of shining a light on what is hidden, if only for an instant.

WINTERSTONE | BALLET of LIFE
In the twilight of my mother's life, I found solace in capturing the dance of light and darkness through my lens. Each image tells a story of delicate beauty and loving emotion, a ballet of light that whispers of life's fleeting moments. Through this art, I celebrate the resilience of the human spirit and the timeless grace found in the meeting of light and shadow.
