A visit with Mel Evans, Jim Fitzgerald, Marty Frank, Phil Mc Auliffe and Rob Tucher of the Monalogue Collective and Tom Gramegna, Gallery 270 Director.
Bergen County Camera’s Focus Sessions begin Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM, doors open at 9 AM. The artists will speak in greater depth about their process and motivations for choosing to work only in B+W, only using film, and don’t employ any digital process in any aspect of their process!
Showcasing an amazing variety of vintage/traditional processes such as platinum/palladium, silver gelatin and carbon transfer prints, the artists will speak in greater depth about their process and motivations for choosing to work in “slow” photography.
The show opens tonight and the public is invited to the gala opening, we’re expecting seven of the nine artists whose work is on display in Gallery 270 to attend. It happens this Thursday 11/2/23 from 7-9PM with refreshments and snacks and the show runs through 1/31/24.
Join us for an exciting exploration of the work of some of the photographers from the Monalog Collective, a group of like-minded stalwart artists who choose to work in “slow” processes of monochrome film photography to express their vision. We’ll discuss their one of a kind works as displayed in the 2023 -2024 iteration of the show The 21st Century Handmade Print.

There was a phone number below, seeking gallery representation. Since this was the definitive photograph of one of my musical heroes, there was no choice for me, I had to call that number. As someone who grew up so entranced with the music and culture of that time, it was an opportunity to connect someone who experienced this magical moment in history up close. Strangely enough and to my delight, Baron actually answered his own phone. We spoke an hour or two, and became instant friends on the phone. Baron sent me a copy of his book Classic Rock and other Rollers inscribed “this can be big fun”.
In the twenty or so years of our friendship and professional relationship, that’s the premise upon which all the adventures we’ve embarked on have been planned! And this latest show celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Rolling Stone Magazine is the latest iteration in the mixture of fun and business that we’ve instigated for just about two decades. We’re so looking forward to having fun with all of you and our buddy Baron as we travel back to that period in time that still resonates with so many.
The best photographs go further than just showing the literal. They capture a spirit, an essence, and something of the person’s real character shines through. Baron’s photographs still have such power and magic so many years after they were taken, because they document a very special and innocent time before rock and roll became big business. Luckily for all of us, Baron lived in the city at the center of the music culture that captivated the world in the late sixties, San Francisco. His neighbors were Janis and Big Brother, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. He had their trust since he was “one of the tribe”. Baron’s photos of Janis Joplin are so poignant because they give a glimpse into the little girl inside the tortured soul with the great potential for joy that she unfortunately experienced so little of.
I believe the essence and power of photography lies in its humanity. It’s the humanity of the person or events depicted and also very much the humanity of the person behind the camera. In my many years of dealing with Baron in the placement of many hundreds of his photographs in homes, collections and museums all over the world, the power of his humanity, endless creativity and the generosity of his spirit overrides all other thoughts of the wonderful man who is Baron Wolman. Further evidence of just his latest bout of creativity will be on display at Gallery 270 in the form of his current collaboration with fine artist Sophie Kipner and her unique Blind Line Contouring. Moved by the images Baron created, Sophie’s unique creative process results in one of a kind works on canvas which are paired with the original photographs they were inspired by.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Peter Liepke Show scheduled to be shown in Gallery 270 at Bergen County Camera has been rescheduled for 2014. We apologize for the inconvenience. George Tice’s show “George Tice at Seventy Five: Sixty Years in Photography” will continue being show at Gallery 270 in Bergen County Camera for the immediate future.
We’d like to announce the expansion of our Englewood location into a full time gallery, Gallery 270. Since the creation of Gallery 270 in 1998, we have been honored to host the work of some of the world’s greatest photographers. These works of art have long deserved a beautiful, dedicated location. Over the next several weeks, 10 North Dean Street will be converted into a full time Gallery 270 location. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call, e-mail us, comment here, or message us on Facebook.
Gallery 270 of Westwood is now exhibiting the work of George Tice, a master of large format black and white photography and with many ties to New Jersey.
Also on display is a large selection of George Tice’s fine-art photo books, most of which are limited-edition and signed by the artist himself.
Check out our George Tice at Seventy page on the Gallery 270 website for sample images and more info on the artist.
