The East Gallery presents the Fog Fest Invitational Photography Show, featuring the winners of the annual Pacific Coast Fog Fest Photography Contest and the judges (Alan Grinberg, Edwin Hacking, and Sharron L Walker). While the Contest has specific categories for entry, the Invitational provides the opportunity for each photographer to share the work they would like included in the exhibition. Daniele Derenzi uses her photographic eye to bring us an escape from the constant rush we live in. Documenting nature from open space to winding forest trails brings calm and peaceful meditation as portrayed through her three images in the exhibition including "Our Tree" at the trail crossing in San Pedro Valley Park (just up the road from Sanchez Art Center).

| Photographer Esther Kutnick also used walks for her inspiration, with hers being gardens found on her daily travels around her San Francisco neighborhood. She's created unique layered images, transforming what in other areas of the country may be experienced as the muted shades of winter, into bursts of California color. Kutnick notes, "This year, a solitary image — no matter how colorful — didn't capture the layered quality of life in this beautiful, obstinate, unbroken state of California. The base layers of childhood are sweet, innocent, and sometimes confusing. Later years bring layers of good and bad, of breakthroughs and setbacks, of love and loss. Yet the beauty of nature is constant, offering glimpses of brightness in the midst of a darkening world."

| Five images from a larger body of work called Keepers of the Flame, are being presented by Curt Bianchi. These celebrate the preservation of steam era railroading into the twenty-first century. Bianchi notes, "I focus on the men and women who perpetuate the skills and crafts required to maintain and operate these railroads in an historically accurate manner. Most of these images were made at heritage railroads around the United States." He as personally printed the images on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper.
The public is invited to a Gallery Walk and Conversation with the photographers on Saturday, Jan, 31, beginning at 3pm.
