New Closing Date!
October 14, 2020

Both artists exhibited in The Art of New York: Annual Juried Art Show in 2019 with Dave Waite receiving the Best in Show award.

I express my personal creativity and unique view of nature. My subjects are the scenes I encounter as I travel by foot or boat through the wilderness areas in New York State. I have been influenced not only by contemporary artists and photographers, but also the pictorial artists of the past.

Dave Waite, 2019

Ken Ratner’s black and white Gelatin silver prints are focused on humanity and the commonplace:

I feel most alive when I am canvassing the streets, or any other place where there is visual stimulation, with camera in hand, looking to record something that is significant. I photograph because I want to record what is meaningful to me, and to share with others so that, and this is my hope, the world will become a more humane place. I would like for people to feel what I felt when I photographed.

Ken Ratner, 2019
