Short Description
At the dawn of photography our hopes and sights were set on finding the science that would
allow us to produce an image with light and to display the latent image. It was the inquisitive scientific
mind, the human hand and creative ideas that furthered the Art of Photography. In the world today
current photographic technology and past process discoveries are merging and we see creative
photographic works that use both modern resources and the touch of the human hand with historical
photographic processes.
LightBox Photographic Gallery and Analog Forever Magazine wish to celebrate photography’s
beginnings, the lessons we have learned, the processes we have discovered and the paths we have
followed. In the Analog Forever 2025 Gallery Exhibit, we look for work with a human touch of analog
process in the creative endeavor. The sole requirement for submission and an opportunity to be included
in this exhibit is your work must include an analog element of photographic means. It can start in an
analog manner or medium or it may include any of the same throughout your process, or perhaps, just
the final piece may be presented as a photo based analog process print. There must be at least one
analog element in the creative process.
LightBox Photographic Gallery and Analog Forever Magazine have forged a partnership to
produce the Analog Forever Gallery Exhibition with work that tantalizes the senses. We want to see your
most eye popping platinum print, your vibrant cyanotypes, your scrumptious lumen prints, and your
most elegant gelatin silver prints. Three dimensional objects receive equal love as do assemblage work.
Our priority is to put on an exhibition that stirs the soul and gets your heart racing. Join with Analog
Forever Magazine and LightBox Photographic Gallery to help produce another earth shattering
exhibition. Remember, The Artist Hand must be evident in the work. Unique Creativity is encouraged,
desired and supported. Please show us what you do!
