"I didn't expect so many people," Johnson said as he greeted visitors in the spacious, remodeled shop, an interesting venue for the exhibit.
The 11 black-and-white nude photographs conveying the emotions involved in the process of life, death, grief and rebirth are Wiitanen's tribute to her mother's long battle with cancer. Also displayed with the photographs is the mask her mother wore for radiation treatments. The exhibit continues through May 15.
