Gallery Shows in Denver

Hello, there are two photo exhibits that are showing in Denver this week and they both come down on Friday, Jan. 9.
First, Sebastiao Salgado at The Camera Obscura Gallery, 1309 Bannock Street, near the Denver Art Museum. Salgado is simply one of the best documentary photographers of all time. It's amazing to be able to see 15-18 of his black and white hand-printed signed photos.
Gallery owner, Hal Gould, is quite a character and can tell you stories about many of the images.
Second, at Rule Gallery, "Light and Time, Wet Plate Collodion Photographs" by Mark Sink & Kristen Hatgi. Their photographs were created by pouring a thin layer of collodion on glass plates before sensitizing them with a silver nitrate solution. The plate then must be exposed and developed while it is still wet. This photographic process was popular from 1852 through the 1860s. The one-of-a-kind glass plate images are on display and are also for sale. Not only is this a cool historic photographic process, but their subject matter makes the show well worth the trip.
Rule Gallery.
Cheers, Kent
PS. Thank you to Robin Rule who allowed me to make this photo in her gallery.
