“The Pasadena Photographic Arts FORUM is an irreplaceable player in the rich Southern California art ecosystem. It's been my absolute pleasure to join the lively roster of artists, curators, and speakers showing work and putting a fine shine on the state of photography. PPA/FORUM is a connector, a nexus, a vibrant creator of community."
