George Washington Bridge in Rain ©Dan Burkholder The Next Phase: iPhone Photographs by November guest exhibitor Dan Burkholder will be shown in our upstairs gallery. Burkholder says, "Photographing and stylizing images with the iPhone is one of the purest photographic phenomenon I've experienced during more than four decades of using a camera. With no gap between the moment of capture and time of enhancement, I find my emotional reaction to the subject becomes an integral part of the final image, in a way that's much more honest and fluid than waiting to return to the computer or darkroom."   Also in November, Gallery members who print in alternative processes will show some of their recent work.   Visit Soho Photo Gallery Soho Photo Gallery has been showcasing a broad spectrum of imagery by emerging and veteran photographers since 1971. The Gallery is in New York's historic TriBeCa district, three blocks south of Canal Street between West Broadway and Sixth Avenue.
