A Photo Exhibit by Debashish Basak

April 11 through May 8, 2013 Reception: April 20 1-4 PM

Debashish Basak, originally from India, got fascinated with nature photography from his childhood. He was raised in different regions of rural India, which gave him opportunity to explore the scenic beauty of the countryside. His love for nature and his mother’s love of gardening gave him the passion for photography.

An Electronics & Computer Engineer by profession, he indulges in his passion of photography at every opportunity he comes across. His main themes are Landscape and Macro photography. He prefers keeping his photos as pure as possible without any major enhancements through any software.

Debashish started using the family camera (Yashica) from 1982 and experimented with it. He has never attended any professional photography course, but improved himself on field experimenting and learning the hard way.

Encouraged by his wife-Ruma, son-Debarshi and various close friends, he has transformed from a hobbyist to a serious amateur, covering various events.

The exhibit at Keeble & Shuchat Photography showcases his long journey in his passion for photography.

Once in a Lifetime: An Exhibit by Paige Parsons

January 10 through February 13, 2013 Reception: January 19th 3-5 PM

Growing up, I always had a passionate connection to pop music. As a teenager, some of my best friends were UK music magazines like Melody Maker, Sounds, and NME. Photos by Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn transported me from my bedroom in San Francisco to the front row of an Echo and the Bunnymen concert in Liverpool, or to an icy subway tunnel in Manchester with Joy Division. Tour programs and album liner notes bridged the continents and made me feel closer to my favorite acts.  It all seemed so untouchable; at the time, even the idea of seeing my favorite bands play a live show seemed like a daydream.

One of the first artists I captured on film was Morrissey, during his first solo performance following The Smiths’ split. The anticipation and adoring adulation of his fans stirred emotions I’d never experienced before. It was then that I chose to explore the relationship between fan and artist through photography. Musicians may rehearse for a performance, but the fans complete the exchange of dynamic energy that fluctuates from one performance to the next; it’s never the same twice.

I hope those viewing my work will feel the unique rush of literally being between the spectator and performer.  Whether a show is intimate and sparse, or in a field with ten thousand fans, my mission is to capture the intense emotion of this unique relationship. It might seem to happen all the time, but really only takes place “Once In A Lifetime.”

Impacted By Life: An Exhibit by Dan & Eric Meacham

December 13, 2012 through January 9, 2013

Whatever the setting, life presents an endless panorama of potential images with impact.

Whether presenting a story with many images and one theme, or individual images with many themes, the photographer seeks to present meaning and emotion from what is seen and experienced in life!

Daniel and Eric here present a varied selection of images which including still life, landscape, Kosovo protest, Burning Man, and Occupy Oakland. Regardless of subject, each image has it’s own message. These photographs explore varied situations, presenting some of life’s great themes for us to contemplate! Color and monochrome each have strengths, so both are used here. Digital and traditional imaging are both seen in the pictures shown.

Daniel was taught by his father, then received formal training at three schools as well as pursuing extensive self-learning. His photojournalism was widely published, and he has won many first-place awards for images in competition. Eric loves traditional imaging, but also has a great interest in video since he is employed as a video cameraman at a local television station.

Bill Voight’s Exhibit AnyPlace, AnyWhere & AnyTime

Exhibit: November 15-December 12, 2012 Reception: November 24 1-4 pm

Recognized for his relentless pursuit of time, place & beauty, a camera travels everywhere and anywhere Bill travels. Never merely just “a camera”; an 8 x 10 view camera 200 miles from the nearest Alaskan arctic village, the ten minute exposure in the main isle of Wells Cathedral, even night after night wandering the streets of London with Hasselblad & tripod over his shoulder.

Bill’s mediums of choice remain the silver gelatin and platinum print. Using the natural divisions of the Keeble & Shuchat gallery, “AnyPlace, AnyWhere & AnyTime” presents three distinct and unique photographic projects. On the gallery main wall are “Wild Rivers” & “Wilderness”. The “Wilderness” images are selections from his 2006 show, “Yosemite in Platinum”. While the “Wild Rivers” are prints for a new book project, Along the Wild Rivers. Across the room hang powerful images from his 2007 show and book, USS Nimitz: Tiger Cruise. In the hall is a UK architectural showing, some new, some from “London Nightscapes”.

Black & White Fine Art an Exhibit by Tom & Marj Green

Exhibit: August 9-September 12, 2012 Reception: August 12 1-4 pm

Artist’s Statement: Tom & Marj create fine art Black & White photographs that reflect both the rural man-made and urban industrial worlds around us. Scenes from 50 or 100 years ago are often chosen for their appeal and because they are best portrayed in Black & White. This can be a western ghost town, an abandoned factory, an old steam locomotive, or a derelict automobile.
Tom’s images are taken with an infrared camera, with some presented in his newly created digital solarization process. Marj’s images are taken in color and converted to black and white in the digital darkroom.
