Frank Pictures Gallery is excited to present "4x5", a group show featuring five of Southern California's rising photographic talents: John Fitzpatrick, Brian Hodges, Adam Santelli, Frank Schaefer and Michael Salvatore Tierney. "The biggest challenge facing photography today is creating work that doesn't resemble what has been seen before", says Laurie Frank, owner/director of Frank Pictures Gallery, "I see hundreds of portfolios every year that are indistinguishable from Weston, Weegee, Eggleston, and Shulman, then, suddenly, I was asked to jin the faculty of the Palm Springs Photography Festival and one after another I was struck by an overwhelming cavalcade of singular talent. It literally took my breath away." Frank asked five of the photographers from the festival to showcase four selected works, all sized at 4'x5', from their individual series.
