Miki Nitadori, Interface, untitled photograph

Photographers Ed Goldstein, Miki Nitadori and Bruna Stude share the gallery with concurrent exhibits that pursue a single idea as a vehicle for commentary on issues concerning nature, cultural identity and social-historical documentation. Exploring the potential of traditional film, digital photography and time-based media, these engaging bodies of work capture the human experience and its passage through time.

Ed Goldstein says, "My second grade teacher assigned me the task of sketching a local mountain. I decided to photograph it instead. Humility and reverence for the actual motivated that life-determining decision. I've never looked back! In Los Angeles I had a successful career as a commercial photographer in the advertising world ... at the same time, I honed my skills as a fine art photographer."
Miki Nitadori spent her childhood in several countries (Thailand, Hawai'i and Europe). Her art training began at the Parsons School of Design in Paris, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Paris American Academy, specializing in painting, and also obtained a certificate of professional training from Speos Photographic Institute. Since 1996, she has collaborated with dancers and musicians and in 1999, became part of the artistic movement on Rue Rivoli in Paris.
Bruna Stude is a nomad at heart. She says that the only place that has ever felt like home is the ocean. A native of Croatia, Bruna spent over two decades yachting and circumnavigating the globe as part of a crew. “I’m a bit of a gypsy,” she admits. "I learned from an early age the beauty of going places and discovering new languages and new cultures." Today as a photographer and gallery owner, she captures images of the ocean in her signature form of platinum and palladium prints.
