Icebox Gallery presents a collection of black and white
images by Colorado photographer, Tom Quinn Kumpf.
Much like a dance charged with pulse and passion, these are images
Kumpf took while following his dream to be a full-time photographer,
images created during periods of his life when he had to work other
kinds of jobs in order to keep the dream going. Working as
he had to, and traveling when he could, this body of work spans
nearly thirty years and brings Kumpf to the Icebox Gallery for the
second time.

This body of work reflects a vision that is unique in its playfulness
and diversity. His image, “Cuba Si,” captures magic and
motion, while “Near Whiteout” stops the viewer with a
sense of space and silence. Likewise, the mood and mystery of an
Irish stone circle is contrasted and complimented by images of birds
that more resemble Japanese Sumi paintings than photographs. Treating
film, chemical processes, and paper in a number of creative ways,
Kumpf offers a collection that is both remarkable and enlightening.
