PHOTOS: BEST OF FEBRUARY

First Friday offers 2 free exhibits at museum

Photographer Tim Remick of Anchorage is presenting After: Portraits from Denali, which includes this 2010 image of Marty Rainey following a climb. Twenty large-format portraits are on display beginning Feb. 3, 2012 at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center.

Anchorage photographer Tim Remick's solo exhibition, "After: Portraits from Denali," opens Friday at the Anchorage Museum. Using an old-fashioned large format 4x5 camera, Remick took portraits of climbers within minutes after they returned to the mountain's base camp after reaching the summit, plying them with an Alaska-brewed beer to sit in his makeshift studio made from PVC pipe and a tarp. The 20 photos on display were taken over the course of two climbing seasons. A solo exhibit by glass master Preston Singletary also opens on Friday. Both exhibits will hold an opening reception starting at 6 p.m. with artist talks to follow. Admission to the First Friday event is free.
