Paul Kneale, ALT, 2009
Taking the 1970 documentary film "Gimme Shelter" by Albert and David Maysles as his starting point, Kneale eliminated all footage except that with the starbursts, rings and circle effects of lens flares. The documentary chronicling The Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour, which culminated in the disastrous Altamont Free Concert, is consolidated into an endless hazy sequence of crowds, concert goers and The Stones; both gorgeous and unpredictable.

Dick Oulton, Meet Dick Oulton, 2008
Richard (Dick) Oulton (1918-2000) was a commercial photographer who worked out of Vancouver from the late 50s to the mid 80s. He operated under a variety of names advertising services for weddings, portraits, passports, photographic restoration and commercial photography. A bachelor who had an eye for attractive ladies and a flair for fashion, Oulton continued to photograph until his death. With no heirs, the bulk of Richard Oulton’s image collection was rescued by friends and subsequently came to the attention of Presentation House Gallery. It is a rich social and historical document of middle class life in Vancouver. This selection of Dick Oulton’s photographs, which reveals the commercial and vernacular imperatives of his production, showcases the idiosyncratic power of his images. Restricted to particular genres and conventional formats, his pictures indicate a stylized sensibility and personal vision. Edition of 750. ISBN: 0-920293-82-9
