Please join Elyse Butler & Matt Mallams for the opening of their exhibition If the Way is Open on Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 from 5:00 - 7:30 pm at The Visions Gallery - presented by Brooks Institute & Marriott Ventura Beach.

“If the Way is Open is a body of work that portrays the ebb and flow of life. For us, photography is not just a job, it is a lifestyle. We follow our intuition and use our cameras as a medium to record the unique moments that happen in our everyday. We feel that life offers situations far more strange and beautiful than anything we could come up with. This work is personal, it is documentation of our feelings and memories, and our observations of reality. We make pictures to better understand life as we’re living it.” - Elyse Butler & Matt Mallams

The address: 2055 East Harbor BoulevardVentura, CA 93001

Elyse & Matt will also be speaking at Brooks Institute on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm.

Hope to see you there!
