Plans for building 42"x36" model of gallery
1:12 scale model of University Art Gallery at UMass Dartmouth
self portrait to scale
planning exhibition layout
Nearly completed model
Installation complete
Artist talk at opening
Demonstration of cropping street photographs
Cropped street photos
29th Street 12, 1978

29th Street Crop, No. 20, 1977
6 7/8” x 2 7/8”
Showing illustrations of my mother's cameras
Kodak No. 3 Brownie was one of the cameras my mother would have used as a young girl in the 1920's
Mother's childhood photographs from the 1920's introduced the show
My mother, Laura Smith Means, photographed by a friend with her Brownie in 1928
Beginning the demonstration of my cameraless approach
Making the gallery into a darkroom - darkening the room and using the safelight from my studio darkroom
Water glass projected onto the gallery wall. In the darkroom I would project onto photo paper like this and process the print.
Using the same process to make light bulb images
