Nothing escapes the eye of Pete McCutchen. From dilapidated sheds to scrap yards, to expansive Midwestern Wind Farms to soaring roller coasters, his subjects vary, but his unique vision touches them all. His most recent show, GEOMETRICS, features a dozen bold images. Shot within a 72 hour period in a three block area, the GEOMETRICS series is a tour de force of lush color and precise composition.

Photography: The Observant Eye: Micheal Lang

November 1, 2012 Touchstone Gallery

It takes an observant eye, two eyes, or even three to catch the essence of a person on film.  Mike Lang has the prerequisite  three eyes -- two in his head and one in his camera.  Being a social documentary photographer, he's had a camera in front of his face since he started taking shots of pool players in Baltimore.  That was back when he was a wet-behind-the-ears kid in 1957.  Mike photographs all over the country and even in places like Thailand.  But this time around in 2012,  Mike hung out at the Town Dance Boutique on weekends off and on for eight  months, observing the drag queens and how illusion was created by them through makeup, costume, and performance.
