A Step Back in Time - Curated by Shelly Katz‏

South Florida Camera Club has been invited by Shelly Katz and Palm Beach Photographic Centre to attend the Opening Reception and Lecture of “A Step Back in Time” on March 6th 2009 at 6:30 PM at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in Delray Beach, Florida.
Wine will be served at the event! and after the event we'll all get together for drinks and something to eat... I hope to see you all there :)
A photographic exhibition of history through the eyes and cameras of America’s early photographers and photojournalist, who do cumented the Civil War period and the American West, featuring over fifty images from the U.S. Library of Congress. The collection has been compiled by former TIME Magazine photographer Shelly Katz and meticulously restored and reproduced on museum quality, archival, fine art paper. In the words of the Centre’s Director, Fatima Nejame, “In today’s era where photographs are often manipulated, retouched or ‘photo-shopped’, it is refreshing and comforting to view a collection of such raw beauty and honesty.” The Exhibition includes images by George N. Barnard, Matthew B. Brady, Sam A. Cooley, William J. Carpenter, Timothy H. O’Sullivan, Edward S. Curtis and others.
The exhibit presents photographs of the Civil War Period (1860-1870), and also on display are visions of the American West (1880-1915). Prints from the exhibit will be available for sale with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Centre’s programs.
