Images Photography Exhibit to Benefit Sonsini Shelter
09:05PM / Thursday, August 06, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Bennington, Vt., photographer and Images Cinema are teaming up to help the Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter in Pittsfield with an exhibit titled "Captive Beauty: Faces of the Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter."
In the exhibit of fine-art black-and-white photographs, Lodiza LePore tries to show the beauty and inner souls of past and present residents of the shelter.
LePore's award-winning, published work has been displayed around the country and is represented in the coffeetable book "Image Is Rochester." All archival gelatin silver images (with no computer manipulation) are handprinted and toned in her traditional darkroom.
All proceeds from the show go to the shelter, reflecting the great affection for animals of Sandra Thomas, director of Images, and LePore, who both recently lost beloved shelter dogs. Thomas' dog was named Lucy, LePore's Beau.
In 2008, the shelter found new homes for almost 600 animals and returned more than 200 lost pets to their homes.
"Captive Beauty" is on display in the lobby of Images at 50 Spring St. from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1., Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8:30 p.m. The opening reception is Sept. 11 at Images from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. More information: 413-458-1039.
