The pictures were made in Jefferson, Gage, Johnson, Nemaha, Richardson, Pawnee, Lancaster, Seward, Butler, Saunders, Otoe, Fillmore, and Saline counties. These are photographs recording loss, chronicling the most visible remnants of the vanishing family farm.

The prints are archivally processed double weight gelatine silver paper lightly toned in selenium for added permanence, matted and framed using archival materials. An opening reception is 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 4 at the gallery. For more information, go online to www.unl.edu/plains/gallery/gallery.html or call 472-6220.
