PHOTOS OF ADIRONDACK PARK ON EXHIBIT AT SLU GALLERY

CANTON - "Inside the Blue Line: Photographs by Bill McDowell," an 
exhibition of photographs of the Adirondack Park, will be on exhibition 
at St. Lawrence University's Richard F. Brush Art Gallery from August 19 
through September 21. A discussion with McDowell will be held in the 
gallery on Monday, September 9, at 4:30 p.m., followed by a reception.
	McDowell has exhibited his photographs internationally and has had 
one-person shows in Los Angeles, Portland, Houston and New York. He 
is a recipient of the 1998 Aaron Siskind Individual Photographer's 
Grant, and his work has been published in magazines and journals 
such as The New Yorker, Art in America, Art Issues, Contact Sheet, 
and exposure. One of his recent projects, Banner of Light: The Lily 
Dale Photographs, presents enigmatic images of the Spiritualist 
community in western New York. He teaches at the University of 
Vermont and has taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology 
and Texas A&M University-Commerce. 
	Of the "Blue Line" photographs, McDowell said, "Several things 
attracted me to the idea of photographing within New York's Adirondack 
Park. At over 6 million acres, it is the largest nature preserve 
in the lower 48 states, and one of the oldest. Perhaps nowhere else 
can one so accurately track the changes in the ethics of land use." 
	For more information or to arrange individual or group 
tours, contact the gallery at 315-229-5174.
