Douglas Kirkland: A Life in Pictures | Dhani Jones: Homonyms Holograph

Oct. 4 – 18, 2014
Tues–Sat: 10 am–5:30 pm

Miller Gallery is showing two solo exhibitions simultaneously for the FotoFocus Biennial.

In A Life in Pictures, visitors get the rare opportunity to see the remarkable body of work Douglas Kirkland has amassed throughout his 60-year photographic career. As a photographer for Look and Life magazines during the golden age of '60s–'70s photojournalism, Mr. Kirkland has photographed more than 600 celebrities, covered over 2000 assignments and has been on-set photographer for more than 100 motion pictures, including Out of Africa, Titanic and Moulin Rouge. Having exhibited all over the world, Mr. Kirkland’s work is in the permanent collections of many international museums, galleries and institutions, including The Smithsonian and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, which houses his Freeze Frame exhibition. Awards honoring Mr. Kirkland include, most recently, the 2014 edition of photo l.a. art fair, which acknowledged as its honoree Mr. Kirkland's vast achievement in the art of photography.

Dhani Makalani Jones is a retired NFL linebacker and former Cincinnati Bengal, an adventurer, designer, author, commentator and host who became avidly interested in photography while traveling for the television series, Dhani Tackles the Globe. Mr. Jones' interest in photography then became a passion. Homonyms Holograph is a conceptual project. Through photographic expression, Mr. Jones explores the confusing complexities of the English language and looks to illustrate this challenge through a series of photographic homonyms. Dhani Jones is also a philanthropist. BowTie Cause (bowtiecause.org) is his philanthropic initiative, for which he has designed approximately 5000 bow ties for more than 30 charitable organizations.
