VISION 2020

Milwaukee Photographers Lew Cadkin, Cindy Hansen, Kristine Hinrichs, and Carol Starrr came together as part of a “salon” group “Vision 2020” in April, 2020 – at the dawn of the pandemic. The purpose of the group was to find a place to share their work with other accomplished photographers who could provide meaningful and honest feedback.

Each member of the group has a distinct style and artistic process.

Despite the differences in style and process, each member of the group benefits from the feedback of the others. Through this process, their work has improved in a technical sense and, more importantly, is more complex, interesting, and nuanced.

The common thread in the exhibition is this work produced through the collaborative process – the magic of a fresh eye, feedback from other accomplished photographers, committed to providing meaningful and constructive feedback. The themes depicted focus on images related to contemporary issues they see today - a shrinking industrial base, health issues like dementia, feminism, street life scenarios, and hidden abstract images.
