.- From the landscape photography of Ansel Adams and Carleton Watkins to Eadward Muybridges panorama of San Francisco, the West Coast of the United States has long been an epicenter of American photography. Process and Invention, a new viewing room by Haines Gallery, brings together works by four photographers whose analog practices draw from this storied lineage while expanding the possibilities of their chosen medium.
The images and alternative processes of John Chiara, Binh Danh, Chris McCaw and Meghann Riepenhoff owe as much to this history of photography as they do to the West Coasts stunning and varied environs. Together, they represent an exciting new generation of artists who are reinvigorating handmade photography in our digital age.
