Past gallery shows have included personal portraits of music icons by Rolling Stone photographer Baron Wolman, the hulls of ships by Jan Tiura - San Francisco's first female tugboat captain, views of outsourced and abandoned spaces by Henrik Kam, abstract images of the Sonoma Coast's tidal zone during the golden hour by Jamie McHugh, a provocative post-apocolyptic vision of our society's possible future by Anthony Kurtz and a group show in collaboration with 200 Yards.

Seth Dickerman, the curator, is also glad to provide free tours of the state-of-the-art custom photography lab that shares its space with the gallery. Come for the exhibit and leave with a greater understanding of digital photography's integration with fine art.

All photos exhibited at Dickerman Prints Gallery are created on-site using either our Polilettronica LaserLab or Epson Stylus Pro 11880 printer.

Images from previous shows are available for private viewing sessions, upon request. Please contact us to make an appointment.

	Outsourced and Abandoned: Schlage Lock 2009 By: Henrik Kam Architectural photographer Henrik Kam has shot around the world. In Outsourced and Abandoned, Mr. Kam transcends the physical subject to limn rarefied aesthetic properties and create images of unexpected beauty.

	Circa 1968 By: Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone photographer Circa 1968 featured a suite of portraits by Baron Wolman, selected from his images made for Rolling Stone Magazine, 1967-1969. "Remastered" from Baron's original negatives, the collection of images on display included personal portraits of music legends including George Harrison, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendirx, Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Johnny Cash and more.

	It All Came so Close to Never Happening By: Anthony Kurtz Anthony Kurtz presented a pair of intertwined photographic stories where the outcomes of human uprisings, or the lack thereof, result in a futuristic portrayal of a world gone wrong. Through romanticized, dark, bold and evocative imagery, Kurtz blurs the line between fiction and reality while drawing on themes of marginalization, conformity, mass-privatization and environmental degradation.

	Seascapes By: jamie mchugh Jamie McHugh exhibited Seascapes - a series of natural abstract photographs of the Sonoma Coast’s tidal zone. The images' tight crops and unusual points of view of the spectacular Sonoma Coast tidal zone produced remarkable abstractions. Photographing in the sun’s final hour also brought an otherworldly quality to the naturally rich textures, colors and forms of the environment.

	Change is the only constant By: seth dickerman Change is the Only Constant explores the dynamic and metamorphic nature of the landscape. The photographic panoramas illustrate conditions of change: between stillness and motion, night and day, fire and water, heaven and earth.

	200 yards group photography show Our first group show was a collaboration with 200 Yards. According to their Web site, "First we find a venue, maybe a wine bar, office lobby, or traditional gallery. Then we put out a call to photographers to explore a 200 yard radius from the venue's location and take pictures of whatever catches their eye. Each photographer then selects their best photos, up to 5, and submits them for possible inclusion in a photo exhibit held at the originally selected center point.

	HULLS - The Art of Decay in San Francisco Bay By: Jan tiura Photographed from the unique and dynamic vantage point of a tugboat’s deck – Jan Tiura’s HULLS is an up-close character study of working vessels from around the world by the first female tugboat captain in San Francisco Bay history.
