Bad Days Made Beautiful
“Bad Days Made Beautiful” by Bay Area photographer, Migdalia Valdes. These sublime and unusual photographs are made without the use of a camera.
“Bad Days Made Beautiful is a body of work that comes from within the larger framework of my lifelong project titled Every Day in Black and White. With Every Day, I have made a commitment to photograph every day using my old Rolleiflex and film. This project has become a photographic essay of what we see and think about, remember and forget, laugh at and sometimes walk by, a story of time, shifting culture, social change and memory; a poetic documentary of contemporary urban life.
This exhibit will be on display through March 20. Admission is free. To RSVP, reply to this email (paul@paulmahdergallery.com) with your name and the names of your guests or call (415) 474-7707.
