Last chance to view our historic Fullerton photo exhibit! A March 2 curator's talk and illustrated presentation by Neil Scholl & Peter Dicke will focus on Fullerton From the Photographer's Perspective.
Between 1890 and 1930, Fullerton created over 10,000 images of Long Island. Fullerton's Long Island: "The Lure of the Land" features over 70 large-sized historic photographs from our legendary Hal B. Fullerton Collection in our Grand Staas Gallery. On display until March 2.
ABOUT THE CURATORS: Working as volunteers over several years, Neil Scholl and Peter Dicke were instrumental in digitizing and restoring the two thousand glass-plate negatives that comprise the Fullerton Collection of the Suffolk County Historical Society.
Neil Scholl, a Long Island photographer, is Professor Emeritus of New York Institute of Technology, where for 20 years he taught photography and graphic design. His work is focused on street and documentary photography and has been widely exhibited at galleries across the island, including Gallery North in Setauket, Heckscher Museum in Huntington, Montauk Lighthouse Museum, Water Mill Museum, and the Islip Art Museum, among others.
Peter Dicke, an original member of Gallery 338 in Huntington, was introduced to the world of photography by his grandfather and, as a teenager, created his first black-and-white photographs with a Speed Graphic camera. Peter continues to develop his passion for image-making via digital photography, where his focus is on documentary and landscape images.
