Easton Nights is a story about small town America as told by Peter Ydeen’s night time photographs. The Lehigh Valley, where Easton lies, has close to a million people. There is no downtown, but instead a sea of small towns which have grown together. It has its own personality, serving as a living museum of small town Americana.

Earlie Hudnall, Houston’s beloved documentarian of the 3rd and 4th Wards, has also had multiple exposures in recent art exhibitions, including the MFA Houston’s very timely exhibition, Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power. In addition, a solo exhibition at the Houston City Hall features many of Hudnall’s images from the 4th Ward, the historic neighborhood west of Downtown with roots that trace back to Freedmen’s Town, settled by freed slaves.

Throughout the history of photography, artists have depicted and explored the vast qualities of nature, building a pictorial legacy that generated profound effects on the viewer’s senses and our collective understanding of the world. The intrinsic enchantment and harshness of the natural environment, coupled with the photographer’s poetic undertaking of revealing the observed physical earth and its arresting beauty, created the grounds for a photographic subject that would ultimately showcase the myriad dimensions of earth’s landscapes.
These photographers could capture exquisite moments of awe in many diverse arenas, connecting the viewer’s inner nature to the world’s grand vastness. They could draw out mysteries in nature, to create plots and narratives beneath a cape of rich tones and contrasting values. These photographers could abstract the real world into sensuous forms or studies of color, reimagining the medium’s possibilities, capturing surrounding nature in two dimensions. Picturing the sea, sky, and land, these contemporary and classic photographs use the environment as a continuous subject to explore the ever-changing earth.

The term Kinematic Exposure was coined by the artist to describe the handheld exposures he makes while moving about with a pinhole camera. Most of the images featured in this exhibition were all taken during a recent trip to Antarctica.
Osceola Refetoff’s images exist within traditional means – landscape, portraiture, editorial – and are variously produced using film, digital, infrared, and pinhole exposures, according to what best expresses the character of his subjects. Thus, despite his documentarian impulses and the fact that his images deliberately depict quite ordinary, even mundane, subjects, he trains on them a hyper-realistic and nuanced vision, often yielding surreal, even dreamlike images. His process generally happens “in camera,” at the moment of capture, in a kind of alchemical reaction that transforms the external world into something both unchanged and extraordinary, realistic and magical.

What is Home? features work by Keliy Anderson-Staley, Omar Imam and Rubén Martín de Lucas. The Webster dictionary defines home as “one’s place of residence; the social unit formed by a family living together; a familiar or usual setting.” If you ask most people how they define home, it is either where they currently live, or where they grew up. But for many people today, home is not always tangible, due to displacement, border restrictions, or lack of safety. What is Home? brings together three photographers who each interpret the concept of home in very unique ways.
