Steve Dennie: “Concrete, Poles and Trees”
Barry Whistler Gallery
315 Cole St., Suite 120
Opens 6-8 p.m. Saturday
Twenty-five black-and-white photos make up this exhibition, given by photographer Steve Dennie. Dennie’s a street photographer but not a normal one. Instead of snapping people interacting in urban locations, he snaps the mundane locations he frequents. He likes the absence of humans in his work because it heightens that “gotcha” response he’s looking for.
