    Jeremy Cave Fine Art Photography

    Feb 4 - March 2, 2012
    Jeremy Cave Fine Art Photography (Northern California). Using my camera as a medium of expression is just my way of saying “hold that pose”!
    Show reception: February 4th, 2012 (4-8 pm), hangs through March 2, 2012. How gratifying it is to be visually inclined. To go exploring with my camera ranks at the top of all worthwhile endeavors; a tonic for the soul even: As easily dispensed from one’s own backyard as from the ends of the earth. I like being able to visit a scene over and over again and seeing it at different times of the day and throughout the year is a delightful repetition and at the same time not the least bit repetitive. Please join us and meet Jeremy Cave.
