Rochester —
Community Darkroom, a nonprofit program of the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education, and the Little Theater are hosting San Francisco-area photographer David Johnson, the first black student of both Ansel Adams and Minor White on Thursday, Nov. 3.
Johnson, 84, studied photography at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, which is now known as the San Francisco Art Institute. His collection of black-and-white images from 1946 to 1966 depict the social, political and private lives of blacks living in San Francisco's Fillmore district during that time period.
There will be a screening of a short documentary film by Mindy Steiner about Johnson's life called, “Positive Negatives: The Photography of David Johnson,” followed by a talk-back session with Johnson from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Little Theater, 240 East Ave., Rochester.
There will be a reception for an exhibition of Johnson's photographs from 7 to 9 p.m. the following evening, on Friday, Nov. 4, at the Community Darkroom, 713 Monroe Ave., Rochester. Johnson will be in attendance. Paradigm Shift will be playing jazz music. The photographs will remain on exhibit through Jan. 7, 2012.
Tickets to the documentary and talk-back session at the Little Theater cost $12 for the general public and $8 for members of the Little Theater and the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education. Advance tickets are available for purchase at the Little Theater Box Office or by calling the Community Darkroom at 585-271-5920. Tickets will also be available at the door on the evening of the event. The following evening's exhibition reception at the Community Darkroom is free.
