Lewis Sandler originally trained as a lawyer, decided to move to China to explore a different world. There he spent nearly He spent nearly 30 years 30 years there working teaching English in high schools and later college. During his time in China, he photographed the world around him creating a huge body work.
When he returned to the US Lewis settled in Presque Isle, Maine. Newly retired, he decided to find a way to show his photographic work in a gallery. This is something many of us would like to do but most never take the first step. Lewis was not deterred.
Without any knowledge of how to find a gallery and create work for display he made a contact at the local library who agreed to give him space to show his work. He then set to work culling his photographs and contracted with a printer to print his selections on fine art paper. He then framed them (over 80 prints in all) and created supplemental material about life in China. It became a huge undertaking.
He made it happen by taking digital images that only existed on a hard drive and making them real. In the process he made many mistakes which he shared during our conversation. But rather than let them defeat him, instead he learned and adapted for the next time. He has another show scheduled for this spring in a nearby town.
Lewis shows us that no matter where you live, no matter what you photograph, opportunities exist to show your work to the public. You only have to look for them, ask and deliver. Which isn’t easy.
You don’t ask…you don‘t get.
