Using an 8×10” view camera, Jim Dow, who studied with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind and was also Walker Evans’s last assistant, painstakingly photographs the light, the atmosphere, the colors, of international dining options. The alluring glow of neon beckons. His signature style elevates and ennobles these quirky locales. He has also eaten in most of them, being a connoisseur and fan of barbecue, tacos, ice cream, and all other foods encountered in his travels. Long exposures allow Jim Dow to illuminate the scene in a way that articulates every detail. This is definitely not the same as an iPhone snap. Dow’s images capture a sense of place, a sense of longing, and a sense of excitement.
