Twosomes, an exhibition of photography by Mark Chester, presents images culled from Chester’s 40 years of traveling with a camera, presented in pairings related by subject matter, graphic interest or, as the photographer puts it “a stretch of the imagination”. The Twosomes photographs, published in a book of the same name, will travel through the US, and internationally, hosted by such venues as OK Harris in NYC and Reykjavik Museum of Photography in Iceland.
Mark Chester, a professional photographer since 1972, was Director of Photography and staff photographer at ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), in NYC. His photographs, in the permanent collections of museums in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Denver, Portland (ME), Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, among others, have been widely exhibited and published. Charles Kuralt, a Twosomes subject, whose book Dateline America was photographed by Mark Chester, said of him: "...one of our finest ...a wonderful eye and consummate skill...nothing murky or artificial."
