Frank Kaczmarek and Jeff Sims Photography Show

Show Runs from August 3-31.

Opening Reception on August 3, 5-7 pm.

Frank Kaczmarek and Jeff Sims met at work when they were Pfizer pharmaceutical scientists, bound together through work comradeship and as ‘nature addicts’. Jeff who loved being in the wilds of Maine, and Frank who loved capturing the wilds of New Hampshire with his camera struck a deal in 2002. Jeff would show Frank Maine’s raw wilderness and Frank would teach Jeff how to take it home with him through the lens of the camera. Frank became Jeff’s artistic mentor and taught him the science of art photography, by capturing nature and small human intrusions on the beauty of our New England landscapes.

Frank was a familiar face at Studio 33 for a short time, where he shared ownership with Sara Munro. From there he retired once more to New Hampshire. Jeff continues to retreat from Waterford to Maine.

Together the friends have teamed up to bring you a collection of their newest nature images. The similarities end there with Kaczmarek treading a traditional approach with silver gelatin photographs, and Sims, works as a slide photographer, processing his photographs through a Chromira printer to make an archival print on metallic gloss paper. Both take pride in their work with archivally framed shots of nature.

Be sure to stop in and meet these two interesting men and their photographs on August 3rd, from 5-7 pm.
