Photographic Society of Philadelphia - Art in City Hall
As DoN entered the 5th Floor of Philadelphia City Hall for the Photographic Society of Philadelphia exhibition of member work a part of Art in City Hall he was greeted by Eilleen Eckstein with a flower for participating artists. Shoshka pinned DoN’s carnation and they entered the ornate halls together; the gala was jammed with estimates of 300 attendees, the walls are hung with a fantastic array of photographic styles all meeting the only rule, that the framed image not exceed 16 x 20 inches. The crowd was jovial and high spirited.

That’s Armond Scavo’s, of Earthlight Images, photo of City Hall in the middle; Armond offered discounted services to PSoP members; DoN had the opportunity to see how Armond has consolidated his studio into the first floor of his home in South Philly. Now Scavo is doing digital as well as wet dark room work - a real talent and great Philadelphia personality.
Lynn Shepsman with her photograph, “Deep in Devotion“. DoN is fascinated with how this simple image emanates a certain time and place and when DoN talked with Lynn he learned the image is indeed of contemporary India.

Kudo’s to the exhibition committee for the most excellent digital catalog, Morris Klein customized the pdf files so that each artists work appears on the cover - here’s DoN’s. brewer pdf
A visitor studying DoN’s entry in Art in City Hall’s, Photographic Society of Philadelphia members exhibition. DoN’s work was framed by Armond Scavo of Earthlight Images, simply heat mounting the prints to foam-core board with no glass heightened the visibility of the images.
Many people asked DoN how he does it - Friday the 13th, DoN will participate in a discussion about light in art, with a video slideshow of his “light being” series at The Philadelphia Sketch Club @ 8:00PM.
