Gray Loft Gallery ~ Shades of Gray opening

 ~           
 
 
Shades of Gray
10th Anniversary Photography Exhibition
Saturday, December 10  to Saturday, January 21, 2023

 
 
Last night the exhibition, Shades of Gray, opened at the Gray Loft Gallery in the Jingletown section of Oakland.        
 
The guests were greeted at the door by a beautiful floral display and a photograph by Steve Napoli, who, as have I, switched to digital photography with no regrets. His was one of the images sold that night.

In Shades of Gray, his first exhibition, Vince Thomas showed his stark and ethereal image, Abandoned Dune, and, in a change in another direction, his brilliantly delightful, Indigo Tree 1.
