Who showed work

Carson also told about his recent work using a very old Polaroid camera and old film.
- Beth Harpham: 3x5 cell phone images printed on 8.5x11 paper. Surprising detail, and pleasant color palatte.
- Jim Lawson: color landscape of very yellow-green backlit trees against a brown rock background near Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes of New York state. Also a black and white landscape of a corn field and distant hills.
- Danny Schweers: three landscape prints, plus one of Times Square in New York City.

- Peter B. Kaplan: Fresh photos (shot 3 days earlier) of blasting at Ground Zero in New York City, plus older photos of fireworks and explosions.
