VALUE MENU
Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option? If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank. Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch. I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check. My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries. The total was about $16.50. Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch? When did this happen? Clearly, I am out of touch with reality. This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light. Don’t miss this…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait
Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.
The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.
