“When asked about traveling, Thoreau, who lived his entire life in Concord, Massachusetts, replied, "I have traveled a great deal in Concord." Unlike many photographers who find their subject far away from home, Holden Richards, a Hillsborough resident, finds his fundamental subject-photographed in every season and every weather-in the fields and rivers of Orange County. Committed to working with large-format cameras (most of them over 100 years old), and to film and silver gelatin prints, Richards is a throwback to a rich tradition of photographic observation. His work is dramatically precise and compositionally thrilling. The familiar to him is always new. He teaches us the value of looking, and then... looking again. “

About The American Center for Photographers

The American Center for Photographers (ACP) opens in a purposely designed gallery space in the heart of the City of Wilson North Carolina in April 2023. Building on the successes of Eyes on Main Street Inc. nine years of international photography festival activities, the ACP's core goal is to celebrate established photo practitioners and elevate the profiles of emerging photographers. The ACP will present monthly photography exhibitions showcasing work from within the USA and beyond. Coupled with the exhibition programming will be education workshops, forums and other photocentric events that will grow public awareness of photographic image makers and generate networks between photographers throughout the world. Partnering with the Eyes on Main Street Inc. photographer in residency initiative, the ACP gallery will house an annually rotational portfolio collection that features works by USA and International photographers.
