Opening Reception Jan 22nd 2009

Jock McDonald, born in Vancouver, Canada in 1961, opened his commercial photography and film studio in San Francisco in 1986. He is a self-taught photographer whose work –both in black-and-white and color– has achieved national and international critical acclaim for its distinctive use of wit, humor, pathos, and qualities of mystery. McDonald’s celebrity portraiture and his depictions of rural life in America, Europe, and Asia have been widely published and exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including exhibitions in the U.S., Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, and Cuba co-sponsored by the Mexican, Canadian, U.S., Cuban, and former Eastern European Soviet governments.
