Large-Format Slide Show to Highlight Original Photos from E.B. Gilliland 8.18.2021 6PM -CANCELLED
| Postponed to due COVID concerns - this even will not take place at this time |
When NWMTHS founder and
longtime Kalispell photographer Ed Gilliland passed away last September, he
undoubtedly left a hole that many will struggle to fill, the Museum
included. But he also left behind his photography, which was his driving
passion in life and captured Montana skies like few have done before or since.
Photography historian and NWMTHS board member Arne Boveng will
present a “analog film night” of Ed’s photography on Wednesday, August 18,
from 6 - 8 pm at the Northwest Montana History Museum.
This will not be your typical digital or Kodak Carousel slide show - all
the slides that Arne will present are larger format, at least two or three
times larger than the typical 35 mm. The brilliance, clarity, and precision
of these slides (which are mounted between glass plates) is far greater
than nearly any other photography format.
Every negative that will be presented is an Ed-Gilliland-original taken in
the 1980s or 1990s. Besides his beloved Glacier Park, Ed’s photography from
the American Southwest and the Pacific Coast will also be highlighted. Ed
had a real gift of capturing light just perfectly, and he worked hard at
his craft, often returning to the same location day after day or at
multiple times through the year to reveal changes to the landscape.
Photography aficionados will be able to spot the subtle yet remarkable
differences in the different slide formats that will be on display.
The event is free and open to the public. We invite you to join us at the
Museum on August 18 to share this special presentation of works from one of
the Flathead's finest photographers.
