Local Hyperrealist Photographer Presents 'California Oaks' at the Moraga Library
"Valley oaks on rocky knoll" by Dave Dondero Photo provided
Renowned Lafayette photographer Dave Dondero's exhibit, "California Oaks," showcasing the many oak varieties in Northern California and the plight of the imperiled trees will be on display at the Moraga Library through the end of the month. Dondero's unique imagery is created by taking multiple images of the exact same scene at different light exposures and later rendering them together - a photographic sandwich of sorts, to create a photograph that sees more than what can be seen by the naked eye. The technique reveals a hyperrealistic image, full of detail and luminescence that is largely new in the 150-year history of photography. The work is not digitally enhanced.
