Infrared Photographs by Paul Yandoli

Paul Yandoli studied Fine Art and Commercial Photography at the Art Institute of Boston. He worked professionally in Boston in the 1980s, and moved to Northampton in 1991. His personal work covers a broad range of subjects, especially scenes of the American landscape. Most recently, he has been focusing on the details and textures of landscapes and objects in different phases of decline and deterioration. This current exhibit, however, is a collection of images made with Kodak B&W infrared film over a period of about fifteen years - something of an ode to a film that is no longer made. He enjoyed working with it because the film could produce surreal images, transforming ordinary subjects into images having an otherworldly beauty.

Paul currently lives in Easthampton with his wife Michelle.

Flowers: Photographs by Bill Rowley

Bill Rowley lives and photographs in Northampton. He has been in love with photography since receiving a Minolta SRT-SCII as a Christmas gift in the early 80s. Shooting mostly Kodachrome, he enjoyed a little commercial success at that time through a long-defunct Northampton gallery and various private print sales. The requirements of making a living then began to demand the energy and time that might have gone to photography, and for nearly a quarter century the camera stayed in the bag except for an occasional vacation. When Bill finally emerged from the workforce, the world had gone digital, so now his shooting is done with a Canon EOS 50D. He does all of his own printing with an Epson Pro Stylus 3800 using Epson Ultrachrome inks and Epson Velvet fine Art paper, and he mats and frames his own work.

The images in this exhibit are from Bill's "Cut Flowers" portfolio, in which he tackles the challenge of trying to find something new to say about the beauty of flowers.

Photographs by Erica Ann Flood

Erica Ann Flood received her B.A. in Documentary Photography and Environmental Education at Prescott College in Prescott, AZ in 2005. In 2007 she moved back to the valley and continued her work in the fields of photography and education. She teaches in the Girls Eye View afterschool photography program offered by Youth Action Coalition in Amherst, MA for the past 3 years, and recently become the Program Manager for a new International Limited-Residency MFA in Photography offered by the Hartford Art School. Her work covers a broad range of subjects from personal memoir and documentary to African Safari and Wildlife photographs. This particular body of work is an exercise in moving away from the literal capturing of nature and towards using the camera as a tool to paint a picture. All images were made using a Pentax K20D digital SLR and printed by the artist on Hahnemuhle Bamboo paper (a renewable resource) with an HP Z3100 printer.
