Photographer Lewis Reed captured hundreds of images throughout Montgomery County, featuring iconic structures, streetscapes, homes and towns. More than 100 years later, two of Reed’s grandchildren have partnered with archivist Sarah Hedlund to exhibit Reed’s images in a unique way.
Photographer Barry Gartner worked with his sister, Jeanne Gartner, who is the custodian of their grandfather’s treasure trove of photographic images. They have been recreating their grandfather’s pictures in modern-day Montgomery County. The exhibit will present the pairs of photos side by side, illustrating in some cases timeless constancy, and in many cases, radical change.
In this presentation, Sarah will talk with Jeanne and Barry about how the project was conceived and executed, providing historical context and behind-the-scenes stories about creating a new online exhibit—which will soon be available to explore.
