Inspired by a mystical experience while viewing a photograph at age 11, Phel Steinmetz decided to become a photographer. The arid landscape of Southern California and its rapid development gradually became the focus for his environmental photography. His artworks question why we create a schism between the natural and the constructed, and often suggest we become more holistically responsible for the changes we produce in our environment.
Gene Kennedy is recognized nationally for his photography of the evolving California landscape. He is known regionally as a photographer, teacher, gallery administrator, and director of the popular Gladding McBean Photography Workshops.
Gene's work may be seen at the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Sacramento.
