For the first time ever, Jon Reis and Dede Hatch are exhibiting their work together. “Nobody ever asked!” is the response to the question “What took you so long?”
Hatch and Reis have both been working as photographers in Ithaca for well over 25 years. What some people don’t know is that for 21 of those 25 years, they have been married to each other. They have for the most part kept their work lives separate, but when they travel they are often side by side taking photographs of the same subjects. This might seem a logical starting point for a show but it just hasn’t happened, until now.
