It’s a friendly exhibit for three photographers who have spent decades honing their craft. But you can’t fault them if it feels a little bigger than that.

Ashton Thornhill, John Wylie, and Sam Elkind met and became friends on the Eldorado studio art tour, and when they stage their Visual Journeys exhibition at Nocturne 818 Gallery this month, it will mark the first time any of them have had a exhibit like this in Santa Fe.

“We’ve all shown elsewhere. We’ve shown in group shows here,” says Elkind. “But it’s great to be in charge of our own — what would you say? ‘Destiny’ is probably too strong a word, but it’s great to be in control of the work.”
