This exhibit employs the concept of "re-photography," in which photographer Dennis Dalton pairs historic photographs from his collection of places and landmarks in Monroe alongside contemporary images taken from the same location and perspective.
By returning to the street corner or rooftop where past photographers positioned their tripods and exposed their glass plates, Dalton's contemporary photographs give us a sense of what was there, what has survived, and what has been lost.
These "then and now" images provide insights into the transient nature of the landscapes around us and allows viewers to explore the many aspects of Monroe that have changed or remained the same.
Experience a shift in time and see Monroe as it was during a much simpler era.
