Friday night Tracy and I attended a member's only party at the George Eastman House. Each time they install a new exhibit in the museum, they invite the members to see the show the night before. There's always music, some food, and this time a lecture prior to seeing the exhibits. The new exhibits are photographs of two relatively closed religious groups--the Amish and the Hasidic Jews. The photographs of the Amish were nearly all in black and white, while the ones from Israel were in color. Both presented compelling photographs that demonstrate the unique characteristics and habits of these groups of people. You can read a bit more about the exhibits here and here.
For this week's Zoom In, Zoom Out, I decided the zoom in was better shown first.
I love the use of the tiny photographs to create a mosaic of George Eastman. This is a permanent installation in the lobby as you enter the museum. I'll be going back again to capture some of the beautiful flowers in the George Eastman House during their annual Dutch Connection. We walked through Friday night, but you need daylight to take the photos.
