Enormous appreciation to both Ann and Donna! You can read more about the exhibit and see all the exhibited (S)light of Hand work here.


A photograph is a (S)Light of Hand, a magic trick of sort, conjured into being. Light is summoned and chemistry is concocted making visible both the intangible and the corporeal. It is heart and mind, imagination and craft, melding together into an experience of life-altering alchemy.

We, here at our Collective and Gallery have a deep respect and affection for historic processes. In this juried exhibition, we wish to celebrate this love for hand-made, photo-based processes and invite you to view this magic-making wizardry in our spellbinding juried show, (S)Light of Hand.
— -Donna Cosentino, Director, Photo-Eye Collective
