Three Bates College faculty members who share a passion for photography have mounted their images in an exhibit titled “After Image” in Chase Hall Gallery, 56 Campus Ave. Open to the public at no charge from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, the exhibition continues through May 15.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The faculty photographers are Associate Professor of Spanish Claudia Aburto Guzm\u00e1n, Associate Professor of French Kirk Read and Michael Reidy, technical director and lecturer in theater.<\/p>\n

Aburto Guzm\u00e1n suggested the idea of an exhibit to Read as a way of talking about their shared interest in photography and working on a project together that would encourage them to display\u00a0their work in a public space. Read knew that Reidy was a photographer and invited him to take part. Other faculty members have since indicated interest in the conversation. “The theme seems to be photography as more than a hobby, but at this point, less than a profession,” says Read. “I really enjoyed the process of sharing ideas, reactions and sensibilities.”<\/p>\n

Aburto Guzm\u00e1n displays a series of black and white still lifes. Working with\u00a0 Polaroid prints, Reidy presents a series of individual photographs that are combined in various ways, he writes, to “discover new, unplanned images.”<\/p>\n

Using a macro lens, Read creates a series of portraits of plastic figurines that, depending on their environments, Read writes, appear “melancholy, inquisitive, na\u00efve, rebellious, triumphant and desperate.”<\/p>\n
