Nan Phelps' show "Personal Works" opens Oct 1. Reception, open to the public, October 1st 4pm to 8pm, at Nan Phelps Photography, 398 Colusa Ave, Berkeley, CA. Show runs Oct 1-31st - Thursday and Fridays 12-4 and Saturdays 10-4. See her work at http://www.nanphelps.com

This is the 5th exhibition in the "Art of Silver Gelatin Series". Silver Gelatin Prints, hand-printed in the darkroom, are unrivaled in tonal range and subtle luminosity. Today, few photographers make their own prints. Fewer still work in silver gelatin. The "Art of Silver Gelatin Series", celebrates their work.

Winner of the East Bay Express Best Photographer 2009, Nan is well-known in the Bay Area for her "Emotional Portraiture" and her mastery in the fine art of Silver Gelatin Hand-printing - With this show, the artist reveals her private vision in these non-commissioned images, which have never before been exhibited.
