In
August of 2006, Victor Loverro presented an exhibition of large-format black and white images
honoring the local professional and volunteer firefighters of Camano
Island and North Snohomish County. Entitiled "A Hot Summer Nite: A
Salute to Our Local Firefighters," this new body of work is a
departure from Victor's recent landscape studies. Each firefighter reveals
his attraction to this necessary but dangerous profession through the
choice of stance, equipment, and setting. In the absence of color, the
black and white photographer focuses on the essence of his subject; the
large format negative creates a crisp clarity that is not possible in
other forms of photography.

An exhibition of other Victor Loverro photographs will be on
display through May 2008 at Islander's Restaurant, located in the Camano
Commons at Terry's Corner. Images are always available for purchase at the Gallery.
