Saturday, October 18, 2025, 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM
Join us for a private viewing of the “Between Seeing and Feeling” and “ The Lost Years: Ansel Adams” exhibits at the UCR California Museum of Photography, downtown Riverside.
Between Seeing and Feeling: Touch is a deeply human experience, conveying joy, intimacy, love, and grief. Though it is not immediately associated with photography, throughout the medium’s history, artists have sought to capture feeling on film, asking what it means to feel a photograph. The exhibition highlights how photography can engage not just our eyes, but also suggest movement, touch, and even sound.
The Lost Years: Ansel Adams – What? Ansel Adams is hired for a six-year commission from the University of California, the largest project the photographer ever tackled (his personal Yosemite obsession aside)? Fiat Lux’s over 7,500 images reveal an artist whose photographic coordinates have become unfixed. We see a great photographer off-balance. We witness an artist swimming hard against the tide of relentless change.
Where to Meet: At 10:50 AM we will meet outside near the front doors of the UCR California Museum of Photography, 3824 Main Street, Riverside, CA.
Best bet for parking is street metered parking.
Post Event Comradery: Urban Drip Patio or Simple Simons Bistro Patio or Las Campanas Mexican Patio at the Mission Inn (1 Block walk). There are several places for the group to decide.
Costs: $15. We’ve prepaid for the group…bring cash to Cheryl. Exact amount appreciated.
What to Bring: Bring a curious mind. Also, give consideration to the questions: What does it mean to feel a photograph? Where in photography would you feel lost?
