Through Our Eyes {Photographs from the Mid-Michigan Photography Club}
Opens Sunday, June 6, 2010

We live in a truly fascinating world, filled with beauty, inspiration, awe, wonder and interest. It is no surprise that throughout history we have been compelled to express what we see and imagine from the world around us. From primitive man drawing on cave walls, to the endless possibilities of our modern and technical world, creativity is and has been very strong in our nature. Photography has become a powerful medium for that expression. Since its inception, photography has drawn to it both the artistic and technical-minded people. It is an amazing tool that can be used to document things or events, to hold on to cherished memories, to inform and raise awareness of issues, to share how one sees the world through their eyes, to create art, or even just as something to do to pass time, entertain and amuse. It really is a many-faceted beast.

The Mid Michigan Photography Club (MMPC) is a gathering of like-minded individuals, who share a passion and interest in this medium. The members represent a vast cross-section of photographers, from people just newly discovering a camera, to the professional full-time shooter, and everything in between. The subjects, styles, and techniques represented are as diverse as the members. MMPC encourages its members to share their images with others, to show how they see the world through their eyes and lenses! We conduct periodic in-club friendly competitions and also occasionally organize displays in galleries or other public venues.

The prints in this collection follow no set theme or criteria. They are individually selected by the artist and represent a celebration of our love for photography. It may be that photographer’s “best” recent image or their favorite, or just an image that they would like to share to let others see what they saw.
