Get ready for Barry Lobdell's opening reception this Friday, June 5th, in the Guild gallery.
Barry's description of the background for this exhibit is most interesting.
Street Level
Street photography can be said to capture everyday life in public places, sometimes finding candid moments involving people, other times capturing the essence of human-created features in the inhabited environment.
My work in this exhibition features both aspects mentioned above. Candid, unplanned moments when I raised my camera and pressed the shutter at just the right time are here, along with more carefully thought out reactions to given situations.
They say every picture tells a story and I invite the viewers of my work to explore the tales found here.
Barry Lobdell’s photography has been widely exhibited locally, regionally and nationally. His work has appeared in exhibitions at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida, the Housatonic Museum in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the Turchin Center for the Arts in Boone, North Carolina, the Cambridge Art Association Galleries in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Boston Atheneum in Boston, Massachusetts, Photo Place Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester, Vermont, View Arts in Old Forge, New York and the Amanda Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas.
Locally, he has won Best in Show honors in juried competitions at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam and the North Wind Fine Arts Gallery in Saranac Lake, in addition to many other awards.
He co-authored a book, “Pull Over”, which teamed his photography with the poetry of Michael Tucker, while his photographs were featured in the book “Places of the Spirit”, published by the Lake Placid Institute for the Arts and Humanities.
