Spectrum Art Gallery is hosting John Sexton for an educational, informative, and entertaining audio-visual presentation, as he shares his images and insights covering his more than 30-year photographic career.

The talk will also include examples and anecdotes drawn from his six-year close working relationship with Ansel Adams as Adams’ Photographic and Technical Assistant, and later as his consultant. Images by both Sexton and Adams will be transformed on the screen from the negative to the final print, progressing through the various creative steps in the evolution of an expressive photographic print. . Sexton will be available to sign copies of his book, Recollections, following the lecture.
This event will take place on Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 at the Fresno Art Museum’s Bonner auditorium at 7:00 pm. The Fresno Art Museum is at 2233 North First Street in Fresno.

The presentation is being sponsored by Spectrum Art Gallery as a special part of the grand re-opening celebration for our new location in Fresno’s Tower Arts District.

Crap, too soon to make travel plans, I wish I could be there it sounds fantastic.

I saw him in Santa Barbara a couple of years ago. His talk was very entertaining and his photography was stellar. If Fresno were a bit closer, I would go again.

Terry, thanks for the reminder.

For those unfamiliar with the annual Spectrum Gallery Auction, be sure to check out their online catalog. As in the past, some very fine work is available this year.

If you are coming from out of town for the auction, I'd suggest
calling the gallery, or sending me an email, to arrange for tickets.

The Bonner Auditorium is an excellent venue, but it seats 150 - as of
last weekend we had 80 tickets sold.

Hope to see some of you there.
