This weekend I saw two shows that I highly recommend.  First (and hurry on this one) is the Yousuf Karsh show at the Haynes Gallery in Thomaston.  The exhibit features about 16 large format prints of Karsh’s iconic portraits.  Karsh shot with an 8×10 view camera and these silver gelatin prints are absolutely spectacular.  Most [...]
