Every image embodies a way of seeing. Even a photograph. For photographs are not, as is often assumed, a mechanical record. Every time we look at a photograph, we are aware, however slightly, of the photographer selecting that sight from an infinity of other possible sights. - John Berger, Ways of Seeing

After our panel discussion at PhotoHouse, visit the new exhibition up at Someday Detroit, a visual art and bake house dedicated to bringing everyone to the table through thought-provoking exhibitions and delicious food. Curated by Trotter, the exhibition pulls from NOVA24 photographers and filmmakers to engage the audience in lens based media as a form of artistic expression. As an artist, Trotter creates gorgeous works that invite the viewer (or taster) to emotionally connect with its subjects, with the ultimate goal of, in his words, “venerating the Black Body,” and honoring the ever-evolving legacy of Black life and excellence in America. Both Trotter and his partner/co-founder Jantaé Spinks hope for their collective experiences in commercial, editorial, and fine art spaces to fuel Detroit’s current creative community. Treats from Someday are available for purchase, and we recommend trying some out, you won’t regret it!
