All images  Richard Renaldi |
| Richard Renaldi’s environmental portraits and landscapes are a collection of photographs about the social makeup of our country and our world. The portraits he makes of ordinary strangers encountered at home and on the road begin as quiet documents of individual struggles and triumphs. However, because of the breadth of his interests (his projects include titles like Fall River Boys, Madison Avenue, Fresno, Bus Travelers, and The Farm), Renaldi’s pictures attempt to shed light on our collective reality. Carrying an 8x10 view camera, his favored tool, Renaldi travels widely, constantly scouting for the next person to ‘cast’ in his ever-evolving narration about the people and places in this city, across the US, and around the world. |
| During the lecture Renaldi will present work from his various long-term projects followed by an informal book signing. |
