Opening Reception for Pre-Digital Photography Exhibit

“The Little Artist” by Peter Trenchard.

During the month of December, the Gallery of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County will feature “Keeping it Real,” a photographic exhibit by Peter and Dianne Trenchard. An opening reception will be held Dec. 9, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm. The public is invited at no charge.

All of the photography in “Keeping it Real” predates digital and has been called “old-fashioned” or “keeping it real.” None of the photographs have been enhanced or edited.

Peter’s interest in photography developed in high school as he photographed high school athletic events and worked for a professional photographer. It was not until he and Dianne moved to Door County in 1983, after 25 years in the brokerage business in Chicago, that the photography spirit rekindled.

Dianne’s interest developed in college while working behind a camera in television production. She enjoys the challenge of capturing unusual lighting and varied textures in black and white photography.

For “Keeping It Real,” Dianne took all of the photos with her trusty Nikon SLR. Peter shot his photographs with a Hasselblad 500 C/M with Carl Zeiss lenses, a non-digital system that is still used by professional and serious amateur photographers.

UU Gallery hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 – 3 pm and Sunday from 11 am – 12:30 pm.

The UU Gallery is located at 10341 Highway 42, just south of the Green Gable shops, Ephraim. For more information visit http://www.uufdc.com.
