In 1862, the Photographic Society of Philadelphia was formed.

Famous distinguished members from the past include: Constant Guillou, amateur photographer; Coleman Sellers, inventor of the Kinematoscope; Dr. Paul Beck Goddard, who in 1839 made the world’s first instantaneous photograph; John Carbutt, inventor of the gelatin dry plate and celluloid cut film, and Frederick E. Ives, distinguished scientist.

The initial objective of the Society was “to increase and diffuse knowledge of the natural laws which relate to the action of light, and particularly to promote improvements in the art of photography.” Developed 160 years ago, this philosophy is as fresh as if it had been written today.

I'm thrilled to have work again in this annual show now that in-person exhibits have resumed!

My 3 pieces on exhibit are:

* Our Lady of Congress Hall (Cape May, NJ), archival pigment print (shown in thumbnail)

* Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, chromogenic print

* #philly_mannequins get married, archival pigment print
