Stellar Gallery hosts a John Rogers Retrospective

Opening Reception: Saturday June 6th from 5 to 8 PM

May 20 to June 15th, 2009
A Celebration of the Life and Works of photographer John Rogers

John Barton Rogers began his career in photography processing black and white film in a garage darkroom.  His interest in photography blossomed with the birth of his first daughter, and the purchase of a good single lens reflex camera. While many of his early pictures revolved around family, his love of walking carried him to Venice Beach , California and the boardwalk there. An astute and sensitive observer, he shot revealing photos of people in Venice , at LAX and driving the surrounding streets. He soon built a darkroom in the garage and spent many hours working with his photos to bring out the best he could in each shot.

The retrospective covers his work from this early time throughout his advance into the digital age and his photo experimentation. For more infomation about this exhibit, click here: Stellar Gallery.
