Several months ago, Dan Miller of the Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles asked me to curate a summer show for his satellite gallery, Duncan Miller Projects, located in Santa Monica, CA. After thinking long and hard about a new template idea for a gallery, we came up with the idea of making it more of a store, with lots of inventory, and featuring work that is approachable, evocative, and affordable. Dan is also opening the gallery every Wednesday evening so folks in the neighborhood can wander in, and photographers can bring friends and collectors throughout the run of the show.

Sixteen Los Angeles photographers: Nancy Baron, Michael Cannon, Marian Crostic, Karen Florek, Cat Gwynn, Bootsy Holler, Liz Huston, Kelli Knack, Stella S. Lee, Gray Malin, Ann Mitchell, Steven Rood, Aline Smithson, Charley Star, and Ashly Stohl, will be on exhibition. The show opens this Thursday, July 21st and runs through September 3rd. The gallery is located at 1716 1/2 Ocean Park in Santa Monica, CA and is open Thurs- Sat from 11-6, and every Wed night from 7-9pm.
