In late 2015, I invited ten photographers to participate in a limited edition portfolio for the museum. A print from the museum’s founder Arthur Griffin was also included. The photographers are: Caleb Cole, Blake Fitch, Matthew Gamber, Arthur Griffin, Stella Johnson, Lou Jones, Brian Kaplan, Asia Kepka, Greer Muldowney, Neal Rantoul and Aline Smithson.
The portfolio is not a definitive study on photography, rather it is a sampling of contemporary photographers who have made their mark on the medium and have contributed greatly to shaping the spirit of the museum. In my thinking about these eleven photographers I chose images that seemed to hold together as a collective parcel and would continue to endure.
