The photos in this shop were so well done. Goeffrey's eye for light, shape and overall content is amazing. They offer many medium for display as well as sizes. It's a great place to see areas around Galena you may have missed!

We are big fans of Geoffrey’s photography and love all the options of substrates. Our favorite is the prints on the aluminum. But we just bought some other pieces as well. Everything is reasonably priced and he updates with new options periodically. Shopping here is such a pleasure and his photos transport you to a calm river or meadow. This is a must see in Galena!

Photography was stunning, well worth a stop in and purchase. Had the opportunity to meet the artist himself. I’m beaming to see his success and to experience the representation he provides. Thank you Geoffrey! I hope we meet again!

When I went into studio I was amazed at the wonderful photographs, and the great eye the photographer had. As I was walking around, trying to narrow down which photographs to purchase I learned the young photographer has Down's Syndrome. I was excited that this young man's family believed in him and encouraged him to share his talent! Now I have beautiful art work in my home to remind me of my trip to Galena. I have a young family member who has Down's Syndrome who loves to do puzzles so I may be ordering a puzzle for a Christmas gift.

The eye of this photographer is amazing, and the quality of the prints shows it off very well. Great variety of scenes in and around Galena.

We stumbled on this gallery while walking through town, when we saw that the artist is a young man with Down's, we had to stop in and support him! While he wasn't there that day, his Dad was, and enjoyed our conversation with him. Geoffrey has a wonderful gift for photography, and he's a lucky young man to have such wonderful supportive parents.
The pieces are very affordable and, of course, we made a purchase. Highly recommend this gallery!!
