For the past ten years Mark has tried to answer the question: “What is a good photograph?”
Through the exploration of various subject matter, photographic media, equipment, technique and, most importantly, photographic theory his images have evolved over time.
This exhibit at the PhotoMidwest Gallery consists of 77 framed prints, 27 self-published photo books, 100s of unmounted work prints as well as relevant quotes from artists and scholars who influenced my practice.
If you are unable to attend the opening (details below), PhotoMidwest is open on Saturdays from Noon to 4PM. We live only a short distance from the gallery and Mark would also be willing to provide access at almost any time. Just let him know.
If all else fails you can view the images at PhotoMidwest. The books can be viewed at Blurb.com by searching in the "bookstore" under "Mark Golbach."

I wish I were close enough to visit, Linda. I was knocked over by the sheer number of photography books Mark has on file with blurb.com.

“What is a good photograph?” I will be mulling that one over for awhile.

If he ever finds an answer to his question, I would be curious to hear his take on it. It's the kissin' cousin to "what is art?" I looked through a good many of his Blurb books a while back (there are a lot!), when you did a post on them. Mark Golbach has a lot to say. I wish him well with the exhibition.
