OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, December 15th // 5-8pm
Join us on the evening of December 15th for a documentary extravaganza and one of our best events of the year (besides the spring show, of course)! Every nook and cranny of the Salt building will be filled with documentary goodness. Mill about, check out the gallery exhibit, stop by radio church, listen to a live reading or two, partake in some snacks, hunker down in a listening station, or check out one of many multimedia projects. No matter what you do, you're bound to find something heart warming, something funny, and most of all some of the best storytelling around. We hope to see you there!

AN EXHIBITION OF CELL PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY + VIRTUAL TEXT
Looking for soemthing different in the world of documentary photography? We were too. So we thought we would try an exhibition of both professionals and everyday documentarians alike. On display is effectively an exhibition of collective memory -- images crafting a moment, an experience or a feeling and words snapped and shared unfiltered through facebook and cell phone text. Please join us in welcoming one of our most unique shows to date. Don't worry, we'd like to do this again. Won't you submit next time?

[ AUGUST 5 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 ]
CRISIS & OPPORTUNITY >> DOCUMENTING THE RECESSION
An exhibition of photographs curated by SocialDocumentary.net
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, August 5th // 5-8pm
You won't want to miss this amazing collection of photographs featuring work by SocialDocumentary.net call for entry winner Tomasz Tomaszewski (Poland) and honorable mentions Khaled Hasan (Bangladesh), Shiho Fukada (Japan) and Michael McElroy (USA).
The exhibit will showcase four collections of images by each photographer that highlight the theme of Crisis & Opportunity during these difficult financial times, from four different locations across the globe.
"These four exhibits have given us greater insight into how the global recession is affecting individuals across our world," said Glenn Ruga, SDN Founder and Director. "The winning photographers document how the economic crisis is affecting manual labor in heavy industry in Poland, stone workers trying to survive in Bangladesh; elderly men in Japan who were day laborers but are now losing their jobs; and healthcare and the loss of the American dream."
Judges included award winning photographers Lori Grinker, Ed Kashi, Lucian Perkins, and Shahidul Alam; Craig Cohen of powerHouse Books; and Whitney Johnson, Photo Editor of the New Yorker magazine.

OPENING RECEPTION: March 4th // 5-8pm
We are so very excited to welcome back one of our most talented alums, photojournalist David Y. Lee. David has spent the past eight years following much of the U.S. political scene in Washington, D.C. while shooting for Time, Newsweek, US New & World Report, among others. After covering the 2004 Presendential Campaign, he was contracted by the U.S. Department of State to serve as Secretary Condoleezza Rice's official photographer.
When he's not following politics, David is devoted to a handful of ongoing projects that span the gamut from those awaiting organ donation in The Waiting List to musician Justin Jones struggling to make it big in The Road for Tomorrow.
For all of this work, David asks us to take pause to witness the unique moments in between that he has captured over the years, as he says, only totalling approximately one second of his life. Please stop in to see David's wonderful work. We couldn't be more proud to show it off. And check out his website as well, to see more: www.davidylee.com
