Join us on Third Thursday for a UW Press Showcase event featuring author David Martin. He will present his book 'Shadows of a Fleeting World: Pictorial Photography of the Seattle Camera Club.'

The Seattle Camera Club, composed largely of Japanese immigrants, blended the pictorialist photography style with traditional Japanese aesthetics to create distinctive artistic images. At its peak, the club was among the most active and successful photography organizations in the United States.

Thanks to the extensive preservation of its work, we are able to explore and appreciate the depth, beauty, and cultural significance of this local artistic legacy.

David Martin is curator at the Cascadia Art Museum in Edmonds.
