Dark Silver II: 12X at Mastroianni Photography and Arts Opens on March 13

Dark Silver II 12X

Dark Silver II: 12X is the second installment in the new series devoted to portraits made with traditional black & white film and processed in the darkroom.

NNO is as much about community building as it is about educating the public on safety. Police officers conversing with members of the community at this event accomplishes two goals: First, people get to know the police officer on a personal level, allowing a human face to be associated with law enforcement. Secondly, the police officer has the same experience with the individuals whom they are charged to protect and serve. This all serves to make the Second District area a stronger community. Coupled with a great party, NNO also translates into a wonderful celebration of our diverse community. -Bob Shores, Second District Community Relations Committee Co-Chair
