Former DNA executive producer Sam Aslanian has announced his latest photography exhibition, Looking South, an artistic exploration of forgotten places in the Southern U.S.
Sam Aslanian, photographer: "n the late spring of 2014 I took a photographic journey through the back roads and the byways of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. These photos are as my cameras see the South — timeless, silent, still... untouched by the clamor and commotion of our lives."
As is his style, all the shots were taken with battered SLR cameras with long-ago expired film, making for what he calls a "a fitting marriage of technique and place — a region untouched by the 21st century, photographed by tools entirely of the previous century."
An artist’s reception will be held Saturday, February 7 from 3-7pm at the Christopher Hill Gallery, 1235 Main Street, St. Helena, CA 95474. The show will feature twenty-one large and medium-format prints from this collection.
