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.
