Mezzanotte will describe how his work has been informed by his study of that history: “I build my own cameras. Whether it’s a two inch pinhole camera or a room sized camera obscura\, it allows me the freedom to examine aesthetic possibilities that were always available to photographers\, but due to cultural constraints were never considered desirable.” \nAlongside works from Mezzanotte and 75 other contemporary photographers\, The 35th Annual Photography Show: History and Process includes a display of vintage cameras as well as early photographs\, such a daguerreotypes and tintypes. The show was juried by Robert Gurbo\, Curator of the Andre and Elizabeth Kertesz Foundation in New York. \nRegistration required: www.carriagebarn.org.\nRSVP by January 28\n$10 members; $15 non-members\nThe talk is sponsored by the New Canaan Community Foundation.\nMore information about Thomas Mezzanotte is at http://www.thomasmezzanotte.com/index.html. \nAbout Thomas Mezzanotte \nThomas Mezzanotte has been exploring the potentials of the photographic medium for over 35 years.
