The Analog Forever 2024 Exhibit @ LightBox Photographic Gallery: August 10 – October 5, 2024

 

At the dawn of photography our hopes and sights were set on finding the science that would allow us to produce an image with light and to display the latent image. It was the inquisitive scientific mind, the human hand and creative ideas that furthered the Art of Photography. In the world of today current photographic technology and past process discoveries are merging and we see creative photographic works that use both modern resources and the touch of the human hand with historical photographic processes. 

LightBox Photographic Gallery and Analog Forever Magazine have formed a partnership with The Analog Forever Exhibit. We wish to celebrate the lessons we have learned, the processes we have discovered and the paths we have forged in the Analog Forever Gallery Exhibit. The work in this exhibit all includes an analog element of photographic means. It can start in an analog manner or medium or it may include any of the same throughout the process, or just the final piece may be a analog photographic print. There must be at least one analog element in the creative process. Our hope for the exhibition is that stirs the soul and the senses.

Michael Behlen
Michael Behlen is a photography enthusiast from Fresno, CA. He works in finance and spends his free time shooting instant film and seeing live music, usually a combination of the two. He has self- published two Polaroid photobooks--“Searching for Stillness, Vol. 1” and “I Was a Pioneer,” literally a boxed set of his instant film work. He exhibited a variety of his photos at Raizana Teas, a Fresno tea room and health food store; his work there, “Polaroid Prints of Landscapes and Strangers,” was up for viewing during the months of June and July, 2014. He has been published, been interviewed, and been reviewed in a quantity of magazines, from” F-Stop” and “ToneLit” to “The Film Shooter’s Collective.” He loves the magic sensuality of instant film: its saturated, surreal colors; the unpredictability of the medium; it’s addictive qualities as you watch it develop. Behlen is the founder and Publisher of “Pryme Magazine.” You can see his work here: www.dontshakeitlikeapolaroid.com
