Photolust

Over 50 artists, regional and national, are represented in the annual buffet that is Photolust. There’s no overarching theme to the show, since the artist-donated images will be sold at the concluding benefit auction on Saturday, Oct. 20. (You can also make bids online.) Among the locals we like are Bill Finger, Eirik Johnson, Daniel Carrillo, and Annie Marie Mussleman, who’s shot for us in the past. She’s previously documented rehabilitation efforts at the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center in Arlington; in a new series, taken at Wolf Haven International (near Tenino), she profiles those top-line predators being bred in captivity before their introduction to new habitats. “I photograph through very small holes in an incredibly strong fence, which protects me,” Mussleman writes, “but barely keeps me from falling in love with these highly intelligent, beautiful beings.” Other subjects in Photolust include children, landscapes, and nudes—also all beautiful, but none with such sharp teeth.
