Big News!

JANET BORDEN, INC.is pleased to announce an exciting new exhibition of work by JIM DOW.

Using an 8x10” view camera, Dow painstakingly photographs the light, the atmosphere, the colors, of North America’s 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 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.
