A Quiet Joy by Al Hartley
to
Shurniak Art Gallery 122 3 Ave W (PO Box 1178), Assiniboia, Saskatchewan S0H 0B0
Despite digital cameras, cell phones, and electronic images everywhere, Al Hartley of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan continues to photograph in the natural world with his large-format view camera. Images are captured on black-and-white film, then developed in total darkness before printing to archival standards in his darkroom. This exhibition is an example of straight photography, without computer manipulation. Al Hartley's work represents a quest to capture peace and quiet beauty.
