Neal J. Golden
August 20, 2005 – October 30, 2005
Beginning August 20, the Weise Gallery at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library will feature the black and white photography of Baltimore photographer, Neal J. Golden.
Golden’s photography focuses on two projects. The first uses a standard 35mm camera with a wide-angle lens to capture mostly natural images. The subject matter contrasts urban settings and is usually the product of travel. The second project encompasses a modified 1920’s billows Kodak camera using modern film to take pinhole images. The images appear as if they were taken decades ago and recently printed for posterity. The result is a nostalgic sense of modern cityscapes.
Neal J. Golden began formally taking and printing photos in 1988, but until recently, has never exhibited his photographic work. He has shown at the Brewer’s Art and the Whole Gallery, both in Baltimore, MD in 2005.
Golden received his Ph.D. from Tufts University, Department of Immunology and Pathology and is currently employed by the USDA where he conducts risk assessments to estimate the impact to public health from Salmonella and E. coli.
“Golden’s black and white photography shows depth and movement while providing a nostalgic view of modern cityscapes. His technique makes you feel as though you are viewing the modern world using a lens from the past,” said M.J. Tooey, HS/HSL Executive Director.
A reception celebrating the exhibit will be held from 7:00-9:00 pm on August 24, 2005.
