"Yellowstone" at Westover Library, Arlington, Virginia, August 15 - September 30, 2017

Curated by Greg Embree, this was DJ Choupin's first curated show, which transferred to the Westover Library after 3 months on exhibit at the Cherrydale Library. The website cherrydalelibrary.org said "Cherrydale Library's current photo exhibit includes some spectacular wintertime photographs of sections of Yellowstone National Park accessible only by snowmobile." Mr. Embree also made art-quality prints of the included photos, which he matted and framed. His captions for this curated show add interest and context to the photos.

Hamilton's Store at Old Faithful

Hamilton's Stores were concessioners in Yellowstone National Park from 1915 to 2002. The stores were founded by Winnipeg native Charles Hamilton, who arrived in Yellowstone in 1905, aged 21, to work for the Yellowstone Park Association. The stores provided food, souvenirs, and sundries to tourists at the major attractions along Yellowstone's Grand Loop Road. Several of the buildings constructed for Hamilton's are significant examples of the National Park Service Rustic style of architecture and have become prominent attractions in their own right.

"The Hamilton's Store at Old Faithful, in Yellowstone National Park, is my most popular photo. I took it with my first digital camera and showed it at my first Artomatic exhibit. Yellowstone in winter ... can't beat it. So peaceful ..."
