ARTS & UFE From snowy pines to hlgh-nse oondos, photogmnher captures it all By Julle Slack | CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF David Galway sees things in black and white for the most part. So the Milton photographer finds it iranic that a colour photograph of himself has made its way into his latest gallery exhibition titled Digital + Large Format Photography. The exhibit runs April 13 to May 28 at the Teâ€" resa Seaton Studio and Gallery, 652 Spring Gardens Rd. Burlington â€" across from the Royal Botanical Gardens. A reception will be | held on Saturday, April 29, 1 to 5 p.m. "Some colour made its way into this exhibiâ€" tion," laughed Galway, 54, who‘s a fullâ€"time | graphic arts technician. Using a handâ€"held digital camera, or a tripodâ€" mounted large format 8â€"inch by 10â€"inch view camera, his current areas of interest are the emerging buildings in downtown Toronto, and the serenity of the Georgian Bay Bioâ€" sphere Reserve. His last show was in 201 3. Since then he‘s expanded into colour in a big way, and says it‘s counterpoint to the restricâ€" tive and constrained effort necessary with the large format camera. "They‘re basically snapshots, generally handâ€" held, but the prints seem magical to me â€" fleeting impressions of colour and light writ large," Galway said. "When | see a finished black and white large format photograph hangirig, it‘s as if I‘m seeâ€" ing the image for the first time, the realization of a visualization that‘s pretty much only exâ€" isted in my mind‘s eye since the negative was exposed. All of a sudden there‘s this big print you can step into. "There‘s a lot of setup before exposure, and a fair bit of waiting for the light, but after that oneâ€"second exposure there‘s a feeling of ‘That‘s it?
