Looking Back

My Oklahoma City Exhibit

We had a wonderful opening reception for the The Energy of Dance at the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. the exhibit in Oklahoma City ran through June 30, 2003 and included 41 photographs in sizes ranging from 11×14 to my first 40×60

The IPHF has since relocated to St. Louis, Missouri. The Energy of Dance project expanded and evolved. It has become Rhythm From Within, now a monograph and exhibited in permanent collections.

Print Sizes

The photograph above shows me with Bird Reach in its smaller (11×14 gelatin silver sheet size) and largest (40×60 sheet size) dimensions. I printed a set of 11×14’s before donating my darkroom to the Monserrat School of Art in Beverly, MA and moving to Arlington MA.

Living with Logan offers a look back at the public’s reaction to the impact of Boston’s Logan Airport in the 70’s. The images ask the viewer to reevaluate where we are as a nation today in terms of the environment. Select images from my series went on view in the Documerica exhibit at the National Archives. Manheim (at far left) participated in a panel discussion about his experience documenting East Boston for the Environmental Protection Agency in the 70’s. The panel was moderated by Linda Wertheimer (at far right).

Hawaiian Spirits: Kalani Oceanside Retreat
Pahoa, Hawaii

At the opening reception for Hawaiian Spirits, at Kalani Oceanside Retreat. It’s on the Puna coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. My Hawaiian Spirits photographs at Kalani were complemented by the iconic paintings of Rose Adare and the nature-inspired costumes of Tess Howell.

My Island Souls exhibit at Wailoa Center, Hilo, Hawai’i. Kaliko introduced the work, speaking of the importance of art to a culture intimate with their land.
Kahu then bestowed his blessing.

Here is my mini-studio (I can set it up in a consulting room, shown here, in a closet, anywhere) and here I am in the doorway of Patricia’s Transitions in downtown Hilo, an essence therapy shop.
