Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 11th, 2025 from 4:00 - 6:00pm!
Allan Barnes is a photographer and teacher based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He offers workshops on historic photographic processes and specializes in portraiture using 19th-century cameras and techniques. Most recently, Allan has been exploring landscape photography using a mobile darkroom built into his 1985 Toyota Dolphin RV.
Allan Barnes states, "I have become unstuck in time. Working with wet plate collodion makes me feel like an alchemist. It requires lots of physical activity, as well as extensive preparation and cleaning.”
In conjunction with Barnes’ solo show Meditations we're excited to host our first artist talk, Darkroom Alchemy with Allan Barnes. Journey through Allan’s decades-long career exploring historic 19th century photography processes and image making. Also on display will be Allan’s mobile darkroom built into his 1985 Toyota Dolphin RV. Sign up for the talk and stay for a private tour of his RV darkroom! This event is free and open to the public. RSVP on Eventbrite to reserve your tickets.
