Don't miss this exciting presentation, coming in August!
About the presenter, Gary Meader:
I live in Nooksack, ( the same place where Darius and Tabitha met and are buried). I’ve been photographing for ± 30 yrs., and my work has shown in several places in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. I currently teach advanced photography at the Whatcom Community College. My interest in Kinsey began about 20yrs ago when I was asked by the Whatcom Museum of History and Art to make some darkroom prints from some of Kinsey’s original glass plates. I was fascinated by the amount of information ( detail ) that the big format contained. I approach Kinsey’s work from a photographer’s point of view, and this leads me to conclusions that just might be different from the normal viewer of Kinsey’s work.
As for people bringing their Kinsey prints, yes, at almost every presentation, I have had several folks bring their handed-down family portraits done by Kinsey. It’s a good ice breaker after the talk, and people seem to enjoy telling their stories to each other. I simply mention it as "Be sure and bring your Kinsey prints, if you have them, and we’ll find out who’s related to whom!” It sounds great with music and all. It should be a great time.
