Dayton\, Ohio. 45403 \nEnds with a special raffle prize for attendees. \nJoin us for an artist talk with Edd McGatha in conjunction with his exhibition\, 2024/366 Picture of the Day Project. \nIn 2024—a leap year with 366 days—Edd committed to creating a photograph every single day. The only rule: the selected image had to be taken on the specific day it represents. What began as a simple framework evolved into a year-long discipline that resulted in more than 10\,000 images and countless stories. \nDuring this talk\, Edd will share insights into his creative process\, the challenges and discoveries of daily image-making\, and his experience documenting life primarily in Tipp City and Dayton\, with additional work captured during a trip to New York City. Attendees will gain perspective on the rigor\, intuition\, and storytelling behind selecting one image to represent each day.
