Hello friends,

This past weeked was the premiere of Fred Lyon's documentary, Living Through the Lens, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. This month we are celebrating by having an exhibition of Fred's images in our side gallery. On hand, we have a limited amount of Fred's book San Francisco Then in both regular and limited edition box set.

Art Toronto is at the end of the month. Before we head out we want to inform you of the open dates for Portfolio Reviews in October! The reviews are great for photographers of any level. Click here for open dates and criteria.

We hope you can join us tonight for a glass of wine and to enjoy the First Thursday Art Walk, 5:30-7:30pm. We will have the work by Jamie Baldridge and Fred Lyon on the walls.

Finally, the gallery will be closed on Saturday, October 5th. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Friendly regards,
