The Bridge and the Point: A Photographic Investigation featuring the Advanced Photography Students at ohlone College
The Images in The Bridge and the Point: A Photographic Investigation, were shot by students in the Advanced Photography class at Ohlone College during the Fall 2024 semester. Professor Paul Mueller and his class visited abandoned industrial areas around the Alameda Point and Dumbarton Bridge, places familiar to those who live in the area, but generally overlooked by everyone else. For artists, these sites, past their prime and in natural disarray, offer great material for photographers to create compelling compositions.
The photographers worked with multiple black and white film cameras, such as, 35mm half-frames, twin-lens reflex, and large format view cameras to capture their prints. They created small prints, in the darkroom, to encourage the audience to come up close for an intimate viewing experience. Over 50 images will be on view from December 4 through February 21, 2025.
