Remember Me – FStop Second Annual Group Exhibit
Friday, December 9th Exhibit Opening Reception 7:00-10:00pm - The photographs in this F•Stop group exhibit capture special moments in the places and lives of the people around us. This idea of remembering through photographs is one of the core elements in the history of photography.

Darren Samuelson had just taken his last photo of Manhattan when the police arrived. He and his father had been working from an empty dock across the Hudson River, and the authorities wanted to know why they were pointing a five-foot-tall, six foot-long, 70-pound folding contraption at the city. Samuelson pleaded that it was a camera, and that he was just a tourist. His father, a retired sheriff’s department employee, talked the officers down, “and I got my shot,” Samuelson says—a photo so detailed that the print could be blown up to half the length of a volleyball court and still remain sharp.

Looking to buy, rent or barrow a Canon film camera that will take EF lenses. EOS 7N generation or so, some body that will allow manual settings.

Elliott Erwitt —
“It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.”

Elliott Erwitt
