The 2010 juried exhibition, The Landscape Show, brings photographers together from much of New England to the Vermont Center for Photography for a show highlighting what is current in landscape photography today. Thirty seven photographers bring their wide ranging work to VCP for an exhibit opening on Gallery Walk Night, Friday April 2, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Brattleboro, Vermont. Six members of the Gallery Committee of VCP judged the entries and were wondrously surprised at the quality and diversity of work. One juror, Doug Frank of Putney said this show, “...promises to unveil some of those amazing folks, living in these magical places in New England. Thirty seven different pairs of eyes peering out at snow, green, waterfalls, back alleys, beauty, and grime.” Another juror, Al Karevy of Richmond, NH, said, “Judging photographs is never easy but this group of photographers made it seem so.”
This exhibit presents work by some relative new photographers, both young and older, as well as photographers who have been working at their art for many years. There are students and professionals represented. What holds them all together is that need to carry a camera with them to show everyone what they are seeing out there.
This exhibit is sponsored in part by Adagio Trattoria, timeless Italian dining favorites, 132 Main St., Brattleboro: http://www.adagiotrattoria.com

Special Programming: In conjunction with this exhibit, Dave Usher will present a slide presentation and talk on the life and work of William Henry Jackson on Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
Jackson spent part of his childhood in Rutland, Vermont, before he left to photograph the fantastic landscape of the of the American west. Many people in the East did not even believe the descriptions of western landmarks circulating at the time. Jackson’s photographs include images of native peoples, gold mining, railroads, Mesa Verde and Yellowstone. It was Jackson’s photographs of Yellowstone that helped convince the U.S. Congress to make it the first National Park in March 1872. Jackson took about 80,000 photographs of the American West when point and shoot cameras did not exist. He used large format cameras and had to bring a darkroom with him to process the film immediately. Jackson died in 1942 at the age of 99. He has been honored during his lifetime and after as one of the great American photographers. Usher’s talk is free and open to the public.
