This lecture series explores the nature of contemporary digital photography.   We hope to lend 'light and focus' to contemporary vision in photographic works;  to processes - notably the incredible capabilities to manipulate and process a digital image afforded photographers these days; and to production, including a focus on comparisons between traditional and new printing processes.   To say we are on an adventure states our underlying commitment to connecting and conversing on evolving ideas surrounding contemporary photography. 

 I chose to hold this series at the Chestnut Innovation Center,  11 Chestnut St. Amesbury, MA. in an attempt to blend industry and art.  Amesbury is a small Northshore town that was once the base of a bustling carriage industry and the home of the original electric car.  It is in one of the old factory buildings, currently being utilized by business incubator, Chestnut Innovation Center,  that we will host three prominent speakers for these free public lectures.

Lou Jones on Thursday, January 21, 2016;
Bruce Brown on Sunday, April 3, 2016; and
Lance Hidy  (schedule tbd).

Participating exhibiting photographers are listed in (near) alphabetical order below throughout this blog site and include:  Mark Antinoro, Jeremy Barnard, Thomas Barrasso, Leslie Bartlett, Jack Fowler, David Grover, Lance Hidy, Greg Nikas, David Saums, Cameron Sesto, Carl Sesto. Each photographer will offer a brief presentation on one of their selected works after the lecture so that the audience may be introduced to our regional photographers' exemplary work.

My gallery, the Blue Wave Art Gallery, is located at 52 Main St. in Amesbury.  This series is held in conjunction with Greg Nikas of Sweethaven Studios in Newburyport.   The participating artists posted in this blog also have work that is available for sale.  Prices will be available at each of the lectures but also available by contacting me at:  bluewaveartgallery@gmail.com or by contacting Greg Nikas at: greg@sweethavengallery.com.

Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your questions or comments on this site.    Asia Scudder,  Owner,  Blue Wave Art Gallery   www.bluewaveartgallery.com
