Michael Seif Interviewed At The Rocky Neck Goes Downtown Gallery

This from Mike-

Hi Joey –
Thanks for doing the fun video of my work yesterday. Unfortunately, after all my calculating, I was off by a week for the opening reception of the Rockport Art Association photography show – it is December 13.

Any way to put this corrected date along with the video?
Thanks again. I hope to see you at an opening in the near future.
Mike

I’ve been learning little by little about light when taking pictures.  To be perfectly honest 90 percent of the pictures I take are with the automatic settings from the camera.   At one point I thought you could never get enough light and that ideally you wanted your subjects flooded with bright sunshine.

If I took this shot in bright sunshine you never would have seen the ruffles of the feathers.  The automatic settings would have adjusted the shutter speed and it would have been all black.  Because it was dark and overcast it came like this-

Charles A. Lowe Photos: Gloucester 1975

Charlie Lowe was a deceptively great artist possessed unconsciously,
with an extraordinary ability to universalize what he saw in life.  It was
given to him, through his eyes to open ours. His wondrous images guide
us to the perception of something around us, in others, in ourselves,
that was truthful, essential, natural, optimistic I think, poignantly
human, and the essence of our Gloucester.
Joe Garland, foreword essay to Lowe’s book A Portrait of Gloucester, 1983.

From the archives of the Museum, a selection of Gloucester photos from the year 1975 by Charles A. Lowe, photographer for the Gloucester Daily Times from 1957 -1981.
The exhibition is organized by former editor of the Gloucester Daily Times, Peter Watson, and Fred Buck, photo archivist for the Museum.

**An 80 page exhibition catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
It is for sale through the Museum Shop for $25.00.

Copies of photographs from the Charles A. Lowe Archives are also available for purchase. Call the Museum’s Library/Archives for more information,

If you haven’t checked it out yet, you owe it to yourself to see some of Jim’s incredible photography. This is how a real photographer takes and displays pictures as opossed to my hack work.
