Behind their wide-angled lens, photojournalists are consummate photographers who will risk their lives, go anywhere for that special shot, and have given the world some of its most memorable images. The work in this show is largely humanistic, concerned with justice in the face of injustice. We get a whole range of black and white and color pictures that are stirring, special, and at times excruciatingly painful. But there are also lovely, every day images of people in distant cultures. The title of the show encompasses not just a type of lens, but the broader vision the photojournalist tends to have.
The exhibition "Wide Angle View" curated by Gina Genis is currently up at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art until March 26, 2011.
Photographers include :
Abir Abdullah, Ackerman Gruber, David Bathgate, Christopher Booker, Michael Robinson Chávez, Carolyn Cole, Deanne Fitzmaurice, Sandy Huffaker, Pierre Kattar, Omar Khalifa, Heidi Laughton, Rick Loomis, Benjamin Lowy, Donald Miralle, Hazel Thompson, and Tim Wimborne
