RISD and Photography

June 5 - October 26, 2008

Students of Callahan, Connor and Gowin perhaps both took from him the idea that photographs can be quiet, subjective meditations. Connor has traveled the world photographing ancient and powerful cultures in touch with the natural world. Her images seem to capture the spirituality of a place. Humankind’s relationship to land has also been an important part of Gowin’s exploration. The photographs here are from an extended series that focuses on his wife’s family and the Virginia property where its members have lived for four generations. Callahan’s images of family were an example to Gowin, as they demonstrated that one need not travel far to discover a potent subject. Pictured here is Gowin’s niece, Nancy, revealing the marvel of everyday life.
