STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

When photographer and mixed media artist Gerald Hardage gets an image in his head, he doesn’t rest until that thought becomes a photograph. An exhibit of Hardage’s photographic prints, hand-painted scenes and digitally altered images opens with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Depot Art Center. Hardage’s approach to his art is visible in foxes captured by the camera and perfect strips of light across the valley. “I was going to go to a photography class, and I kept waiting and waiting,” Hardage said about the process of catching one stream of light falling on autumncolored trees. “And I figured they can wait on me because I’m going to get that image.” Hardage’s work — which in 2008 took home awards from the Professional Photographers of America, Florida Professional Photographers and Professional Photographers of Colorado — is presented by the Steamboat Springs Arts Council’s Visual Arts Committee, and it will be on display at the Depot until the end of October. Andy Pratt Jazz Trio will provide live music from 7 p.m. Friday until the end of the reception, said Rachel Radetsky, events and facilities manager for the Arts Council. In the Depot’s front gallery, images from the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series, a ranch JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF in Yampa, and local cattle drives Photographer Gerald Hardage stands in front of one of the prints he is showing at the Depot Art Center. His show, which features mixed media images of the Old West, scenic mountain vistas and images from around the world, will run through the end join photographs and mixed See Hardage, page 14 of October.
