Introduction

Welcome to Gallery 45, the fine-art gallery of Dennis M Bettin. The current show is “Christine – 15 years looking back”. It is a black and white photo exhibit of images that I created with student/model/friend Christine back in the fall of 1991.

First I want to thank Christine for waiting 15 years to see her images and for keeping in touch with me. She has been very professional, patient, kind, a “welcome to talk to” and has not "nagged" me at all (well maybe a little). This exhibit is a result of us meeting about 6 weeks ago and discussing where are lives have taken us and what the images mean to both of us. 

As you review the images, please take time to comment on them, send some encouragement to the young lady who modeled for me “that long time ago”, send some words of wisdom to the photographer, review the plans of the follow-up shoot and read about the thoughts that went into this exhibit.

If nothing else please take a few minutes to enjoy the images and remember we are planning to do this every 15 years (give or take a few months).

A warning, many of the images displayed in the gallery contain fine art nudes. If you find the human form offensive (due to religion, political views, age, or whatever) please go BACK now. Also if you are looking for Porn, you are in the wrong place.

Thanks Dennis
