The Family Stage: Photographs by Janet Delaney, Todd Hido, and Cecil McDonald Jr.
Through November 15, 2009

"The Family Stage" immerses the viewer in the complexities of family dynamics, the simplicities of humdrum objects, and the sometimes turbulent, often sublime, rhythms of home. In addition to the featured works, a survey of "snapshot" albums will show how the presentation and preservation of family photographs has evolved over the centuries. For more information click here
