Terry Check ... Retrospective

Featuring work by: Terry Check

Exhibition: Sun, Oct 2 to Fri, Nov 25 2011

The exhibition highlights recent work of noted photographer, Terry Check. His work features several portfolios: Urban Living, Fashion Puppet, Visual Music, Ghost Town and Rural Georgia.

Look once, you see a picture … look twice, you see the essence of others, and maybe yourself. Terry said “I love people …. the diversity, interaction and emotions of people. Love, suffering, fear, laughter, anger, despair and complacency are powerful, without color or language”.

Wherever people gather or their memoirs linger behind, Terry strives to capture the moment transcending time and place. His work explores the meaning of life on earth and thereafter. Noticing what others don’t … reaching with consequences to expand his photography.

Wet Plate and Mirrors: Photographers working with historical processes
Many contemporary photographers are going back to the oldest photographic processes to capture modern subjects in a historic medium. Using these slow and labor-intensive processes, photographers are finding the power of a medium that forces a collaboration with the subject and creates stunning images with an ethereal, haunting quality.
