    Texas-based Carter creates compelling images that speak to the inherent beauty in the people, places, and things we see every day. This exhibition featured 65 black-and-white photographs by this master photographer and was organized by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. In addition, SJMA augmented the exhibition with a selection of photographs by Carter drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection.
