The genesis of the 2017 Photographic Conversations Exhibition came from my experience of being involved in daily conversations in a 3 year project, Six Shooters, and later as part of the collaborative project, A New Nothing. These visual connections with other photographers allow me to work outside my normal practice and use photographs that ordinarily might not see the light of day. And, to be honest, it’s stimulating, inspiring, and fun to work with another photographer.

There are numerous projects that connect photographs, in fact, the Metropolitan Museum in NYC is featuring the exhibition, Talking Pictures: Camera-Phone Conversations Between Artists and Tara Wrays’ Some Days Just Are has recently come to my attention. Thank you to all who jumped into the collaborative waters–I hope you consider ways to continue your conversations. There are three pages, so keep going!

And now, The 2017 Lenscratch Photographic Conversations Exhibition!

Traer Scott and Shannon Johnstone share a love of the under dog. Both artists champion homeless animals, and hope to tell their stories with dignity and grace. In this photographic conversation, the artists combined a portrait of a dog who never a home from Scott’s “Shelter Dog” series, and paired it with an image from Johnstone’s Stardust and Ashes. Stardust and Ashes is series of cyanotypes made from sunlight and ashes of euthanized animals from the animal shelter. By combining these portraits, the artists hope to provide a picture of who these dogs once were, where they are now, and mourn the passing of their existence.
