William Lemke-Flora in Shades of Grey

The traditional, classic, black and white print, made famous by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, lives on in William Lemke’s luminous botanical and landscape prints.  The images are created using either a 4”x5” or 8”x10” film camera and then individually exposed and hand processed. Lemke says “I choose to work in black and white because it encourages me and the viewer to concentrate on texture, tonality and the emotional qualities of light.”

Lemke received his AA in Photography at Milwaukee Area Technical College and studied with Ansel Adams in Carmel, California.  This Waukesha photographer’s work is in collections across the country including the Milwaukee Art Museum.  He currently has been working with the U.S. Geological Society on their Grand Canyon project.

The show opens on Saturday, March 5, 2011 with an artist reception on March 12, 2011 , 3-5pm.  The exhibition remains on view until Sunday, May 1st.
