The theme for the Photographic Society of Chattanooga’s winter showcase at the Gallery at Blackwell is “Member’s Choice,” meaning the photographs on display cover a wide range of subjects.
The society changes out the works quarterly and other themes might be nature, color or architecture, according to president Milton McClain. This exhibit of almost 60 photos represents works from a portion of the 175-member society.
“We are predominantly amateurs,” McClain says, “though we do have some folks who do professional photography. They might do portraits or weddings, for example.”
Among the photographers who have works on display are McLain and his wife, Mary, Janis Rowland, Russell Robards, Rosemary Williams, Pat Gordy, Wendell Gordy and Leslie O’Rear. Most have several pieces in the showcase. The photographs on display range in size from 8×10 inches to 16×20 inches.
