Visions of Greater Buffalo is a CEPA fundraiser that invites 50 individuals with unique community perspectives to take up single-use film cameras and share their personal vision of the region. Started in 2005, the resulting collection of Buffalo photography has over 350 images taken by visionaries who are representative of the arts, business, sports, community service, and faith-based organizations of the Queen City.
The cameras are submitted to CEPA Gallery, then developed and reviewed by a panel of professionals. The best photograph from each camera is matted and framed for inclusion in a special exhibit that ends with a silent auction featuring all 50 of the selected works. Proceeds from the auction as well as print sales go to CEPA’s internationally recognized exhibits and community education program.
Prints shown in this collection are a limited selection from years 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2013. To view the entire collection, please contact CEPA.

In Thy Light We See Light, a 2019 CEPA exhibition by Rodney Galarneau, explores the intersection of nature and technology. A frequent visitor to CEPA’s digital lab, Rodney brings his photos of nature one step further on the computer. He explains:
“Trees have been my focus most of my adult life, but looking for more of a synthesis of the natural world I started to include clouds and sun. With digital photography the natural world unfolds before me. From my work with the sun I am intrigued with what appears as a contradiction; the camera imposing itself in the image, not just on the periphery but at the very core of the subject.”
He credits artist Arthur Dove, a painter of last century, who inspired his journey. And with a quick look at Arthur’s rings of color representing the setting sun, you can see why.
