John Huba

Medium: Photograph

For more than a year now, photographer John Huba has been collecting vintage picture frames that he is now filling with some of his favorite images in what has become his first-ever travel-themed exhibition. Using their color palettes as a guide, Huba paired picture frames of different periods and styles—Baroque to Art Deco—with photographs taken in all parts of the world—from the beaches of Bali to the lakes of New York. “Usually you make a photograph and pick a frame for it,” explains Huba. “This time I did it in reverse.” The combinations are on view in a salon-style show at Sawkille Co., in Rhinebeck, New York. With his motto that “there’s never a wrong turn when traveling,” Huba takes viewers along on his many journeys to some of the least-traveled places in the world.
