If you haven’t had a chance to see the current Upper Gallery exhibit, A New Hoboken: Photographs by Chris Amaral, be sure to stop by before it closes on July 11. At 4 p.m. on July 11, the photographer will give a talk about his work, explaining how he created these dramatic, black-and-white views of modern-day Hoboken.

Amaral's images, often taken from a unusual vantage points with dramatic contrasts and perspectives, portray a city of gracious boulevards and shady walkways, and document public events like outdoor movie screenings in our waterfront parks. The black-and-white medium gives the images a strong graphic punch, which he enhances by focusing on unexpected perspectives or tight close-ups of a detail. ◦
