Until Sept. 30, the library will be home to a photo gallery that exhibits an array of images submitted by the South Bay Camera Club.

According to its website, the SBCC is a group for photographers to share their mutual interests in the hobby of modern photography.

“The majority of the photographs (in the exhibit) reflect the Modernist photographic perspective that began with photographers such as Paul Strand and Ansel Adams,” Darilyn Rowan, photography professor, said.

“The subject matter includes portraiture, environmental portraiture and landscape work,” Rowan added.

The exhibit provides a wide variety of photographs that suit the taste of most audiences.

Donna Shumaker’s photo, “Bobcat Running from Coyote in Snow,” captures a bobcat in the snowy forests of Yellowstone National Park.

Mellisa Gonzalez, 19, respiratory care major, took a liking to this photo and many other portraits including animals.

“I’m usually attracted to anything that has to do with animals,” Gonzalez said. “I rescue animals for a living.”

Gonzalez and her brother’s girlfriend rescue stray animals from the streets and house them until a new home can be found.

Other animal portraits include Karen Beatty’s “Charging Bear,” Don Sandersfeld’s black-and-white “Hippos” and Robin Young’s wide-angled shot of a red fox hunting in Yellowstone, “Red Fox – Hunting.”

“There is a wide range of approaches within the subject matter,” Rowan said.

“To me the theme is the wide range of visual interpretations of the figure and landscape through a modernist photographic approach,” she added.

To the untrained eye, the exhibit is more of a collection of art captured by the SBCC, rather than an art gallery conveying a certain message or theme, but it still warrants speculation for a deeper meaning.

Whether it’s the characteristics of modern photography that prompt conversation or personal connections that evoke emotional responses, the SBCC exhibit at the Schauerman Library provides images for a variety of tastes in art.
