Our mid-winter exhibition of photographs from the gallery collection continues our effort to find narrative & interrelated meaning among seemingly disparate images found in the course of a given year. The show is comprised of aerial records of bombing raids over German & French soil; somatotype photographs of young Naval recruits & c-print enlargements from Ansco color transparencies featuring cheesecake pinups.

Pure Photography features a selection of found photographs curated by Robert E. Jackson from his extensive collection of vintage snapshots. Having been actively collecting for well over a decade, Jackson is a superb example of one who collects not merely to accumulate, but to seek out, arrange & ultimately form the images he finds into groupings that make statements about photography & culture at large. With Pure Photography, Jackson provides visual evidence of the uncanny manner in which snapshot photography isolates aspects of the world in a way the human eye alone cannot.
