Greene Photography Association at Long Island University in downtown Brooklyn, NY. Here are the details: Fort Greene Photography Association Exhibit. September 1 to September 27 Reception: Wednesday, September 18, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m Salena Gallery at Long Island University - Brooklyn Campus, 1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY - On the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb. Gallery Hours are from Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm, Weekends from 11am to 5pm. F or more information call (718) 488-1198. We just finished the installation last night and the work of the 19 photographers, other than myself, is stunning (I'm pretty pleased with my own prints, but modesty forbids my posting a value judgment about it :-) The FGPA is a very interesting group--this is from its web site(http://www.FGPAonline.com/): "The Fort Greene Photography Club was started on January 14th, 2001. The club is open to anyone who has an interest in the art of photography. The Fort Greene Photography Club is not a class, nor is it a camera club. It is an informal environment of creative photographers sharing their knowledge of photography and learning from others" I joined the FGPA only a few months ago and immediately noticed that it is VERY different from the traditional "camera club" I also belong to. For one thing, at age 57, I'm probably the oldest member--I'm one of the younger members of the Brooklyn camera club--a nearly 100 year old PFLI and PSA affiliate. The FGPA has an interesting mix of amateur and professional photographers many of whom, to my great delight work in black & White and do their own darkroom work (things mostly abandoned long ago by members by BCC members). I find both groups to be very valuable--largely because of their differences. In any case, I hope some LUGers in the NYC area will be able to attend the show.
