Discover the quiet power of time through the lens of two photographers who devoted their lives to documenting West Marin’s agrarian community. This compelling exhibition pairs Art Rogers’s intimate family portraits—including his striking diptychs of twins photographed decades apart—with early 20th-century agricultural photographs by Marett Burridge Boissevain, Marin’s first U.C. Cooperative Extension farm advisor.
Rogers’s “Point Reyes Family Album” series shows how families and communities change over the years, while Boissevain’s photos from 1920-1950 capture the county’s farms and landscapes. Both photographers had a straightforward style, shooting their subjects in familiar settings with a simple dignity that makes everyday moments feel significant.
Curated by photographer Denise Rocco-Zilber, this exhibition reveals how time’s sleight of hand shapes inheritance, identity, and the slow evolution of rural communities.
