The non-profit mission of The Photographer’s Eye is to grow photography education through providing scholarships for college and high school photography students, and to offer free classes for children, seniors, and those at risk.
Our first auction fundraiser is generously supported by gifted photographers who have exhibited their work here over the last few years. They have donated images to help us raise funds for scholarships to assist students in their pursuit of an education in photography, and we are very excited. Not only will the artworks be on our walls, and bidding can be done on-site, but bidding may also be done online. Fine photography by these respected artists will be available. We have a goal of raising $5,000, and with your help, we can reach or even exceed our goal. Thank you so much for your support.

My love of the land and concern or its ecological collapse motivate and guide my artwork which centers on land and place: its power, beauty, past and present, use and abuse, and our desire for it. I search for places that express open and unconditional time, where the past, present, and future may be felt, and there is respect for the living earth and the gifts that land gives us while acknowledging its current state and the human impact on it.
The image in the silent auction, Two Voices, is from Reverence: San Diego River. It was captured on black and white film with my 8 x 10-inch pinhole camera, scanned, and printed on paper vellum with white gold leaf hand applied.
