EXHIBITION: Taking Liberties
Just in time for the 2012 presidential election as well as the release of Steven Spielberg’s Richmond-filmed “Lincoln,” Candela Books + Gallery presents Taking Liberties, a selection of photographs from Virginia photographer Greta Pratt. The exhibition draws on several series of her work including “Using History,” her portraits of The Association of Lincoln Presenters, called “Nineteen Lincolns,” “The Wavers,” which document Liberty Tax Service employees, and the most recent “Trail Maids.
BOOK RELEASE + EXHIBITION: Sunburn
Sunburn is now available for purchase at candelabooks.com! Candela’s third book release, in collaboration with Chris McCaw and Scout Design, features a collection of forty-three extraordinary images with essays by Katherine Ware of the New Mexico Museum of Art and Allie Haeusslein of Pier 24 Photography. In Notes on Watching Shadows Move in this volume, McCaw writes, “During [this project], I’ve become attuned to the reality that we’re all running around on a spinning marble orbiting a fiery ball. It’s that simple and amazing, but we rarely give ourselves time to ponder this.”
