August 6 - October 15
Jordan Faye Contemporary is collaborating with Jack W. Hoffberger to present his first solo photography exhibition, Golden Hour.
Golden Hour will include a series of panoramic photographs from sites in Baltimore and around the world. The Artist Talk & Dedication Event will take place on Wednesday, September 9th from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Living Classroom Foundation’s Frederick Douglass Isaac Myers Maritime Park & Museum.
The photographer describes his life and work in his own words: “I lived in England for two years next door to the woman who played Moneypenny in the original James Bond films. I played bicycIe-polo on the grounds of Chateau Giscours in Bordeux, France. I squatted for a month in an apartment in Tel Aviv only to be kicked out the day before my ticket home. I have been on more diets than I can count. I photographed a 22-foot whale shark in the Gelapagos Islands from inside a 15-foot dingy, and one of my photos was recently selected to be included in Flicker’s Explore pages. Aside from finding, capturing, and creating the images of my curious life, I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.”
Jack W. Hoffberger was born in Baltimore, and he is dedicated to supporting the arts in the greater Baltimore area. He has served on the Board of Directors for Maryland Art Place (MAP) and has chaired fundraising events for both MAP and for the American Visionary Art Museum. Mr. Hoffberger lives in Baltimore City and is a Financial Advisor and Wealth Management Specialist for Smith Barney.
About the work ::
The photographs in Golden Hour highlight nature's interactions with Baltimore's Urban Landscape as well as landscapes from Finland, France, and Sweden. The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but city life distracts us from it. There are brief moments, however, when a combination of elements presents itself in a truly spectacular way. Most of the photographs in Golden Hour are comprised of between 35 and 150 separate photographic exposures that are blended together to form a single image. In some works, the camera is panned, and the resulting photos are stitched together to create an image that would be impossible to capture with a single lens.
