Holden Richards, Riverwalk: New Work, New Prints

“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. “
