It's About Time: Celebrating 35 Years (2004-2005)

Roland Petersen’s vibrantly colored and dynamically structured , captures the ambient light of California’s Central Valley. Four picnickers, absorbed in their own thoughts, seemingly await the fifth, mysteriously absent guest. Petersen explains, “there’s that power of the lonely, of stillness, of tranquility, that instills the feeling that something is about to happen. The element and suspense of waiting was…what I was trying to capture.”
