Center for Creative Photography

It’s the final weeks to see “Making a Life in Photography: Rollie McKenna” at the Center for Creative Photography!

McKenna’s photography spanned a range of genres and included portraits of well-known writers and artists. This past February, CCP members were invited to a special print viewing that explored how the subjects in McKenna’s portraits could be found photographs by other artists in the Center’s collection.

These three images of artist Georgia O’Keeffe were made by Rollie McKenna, Ansel Adams, and Alfried Stieglitz respectively — all of them shown at the members’ event.
