Many years ago, during my “photography stage” I stumbled into an obscure institute in Louisville, Kentucky called the Center For Photographic Studies. The center was created by C.J. Pressma, a man whose passion for photography ran so deep that his favorite cocktail was scotch with a splash of D-76 developer.
Pressma studied with Minor White in a special graduate studies program at MIT and he studied with Henry Holmes at Indiana University where he also earned his MFA. He has received a number of awards and his his work has been exhibited internationally. Eschewing the coasts, he has been a celebrated figure in the Kentucky arts world for a generation.
