“Abandoned Lace Factory” by Michael Borek

Mirror To The World: Documentary Photography 2011
March 11 – April 17, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, March 18, 6-9 p.m.
 
Photoworks Gallery in historic Glen Echo Park is proud to present Mirror To The World:  Documentary Photography 2011 Mirror To The World seeks to celebrate narrative photography — story telling with photos and words.  This exhibit represents some of the best in documentary photography, by a local group of six not-yet-famous photographers.  Curated by nationally recognized documentary photographer and author, Frank Van Riper, this show offers a series of intimate “picture stories”  — including an exploration of abandoned prisons, a rehearsal and performance by the Folger Consort, and a woman-on-the-street view of a raging fire in Brooklyn.  As Van Riper states, “It will, as always, be a hell of a show.”
