LocalVision 2008 is an annual exhibition which originated in Santa Cruz in 1994. It has been an opportunity for beginning students to exhibit their artwork. The exhibition is comprised of black and white photography, color, digital and Polaroid images. Presented in this collection, one sees a variety of viewpoints from the artist. One photographer captures a tender moment with a beloved pet, another snaps a shot of an awe inspiring landscape, or abstract view of downtown or a blooming flower in one’s backyard. All the work tells a grand story of individual experiences in a collaborative exhibition. Students presenting are from local communities along the Peninsula; Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, San Carlos, Redwood City and Menlo Park. Curator Marty Springer currently works for Park and Recreation Departments teaching students several styles and mediums of photography, as well as developing their talents and presenting their works in quality exhibitions such as this one.
