snap
the changing art of photography

 

March 28 - April 13 2008

Perhaps no other artistic medium has been affected by the technological revolution as much as photography.
35 mm, enlargers and chemistry have been joined by
Digital SLRs, high tech printers and Photoshop(C).
With so many ways to alter images  
does the initial shoot  - 'snap' of the photographer -
remain the most critical part of photography?

From pure photography to altered digital and video, images of our world captured like never before.
