Eleven: Be There

©️Kathy Triolo | Magic on the Water

Be There, the theme of the annual November juried exhibit Eleven, recognizes the fulfillment photographers experience when creating images that are the result of preparation, seeking, opportunity, and actually being there. This is true whether the photo is of a child’s first step, part of a travelogue, or light thrown by a skyscraper’s windows. The photograph sustains the memory of being there and then invites viewers to share the experience. Jeff Redman, juror, long-time photographer and founding figure of Viewpoint, selected the exhibit from over 500 entries from across the United States.

Don’t miss the opportunity to BE THERE!

JUROR Jeff Redman founded and operated Lightwork: a photographers’ supply and gallery in Sacramento from 1980-1997. He curated exhibits in the Lightwork Gallery for Linda McCartney, Ruth Bernhard, Roy DeCarava, Oliver Gagliani, Morley Baer, Carlton Watkins, Gordon Hutchings, Michael Williamson, Charles Moore, Mary Swisher, Gerry Storey, Ralph Talbert, Roger Vail, Richard Goldwach, and dozens of others. In 1991, with the support of other charter members, Redman founded Viewpoint Photographic Art Center. While a student at Sacramento State, he studied with Ralph Talbert and Nick DeLucia and worked as a photojournalist for the Hornet. Assignments with the Hornet included newsworthy speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr., Stokley Carmichael, Angela Davis, and Ronald Reagan and performances by Country Joe and the Fish, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Arlo Guthrie, The Moody Blues, and others. Redman has taught courses in beginning photography, the zone system, and Photoshop at local colleges. Ever inquisitive, he learned carbon printing directly from Vaughn Hutchins during COVID. Redman continues to support Viewpoint with his expertise, experience, and broad knowledge of photography.
