The Flow Features: Cole Ridges Cole Ridges is a 20-year-old wildlife photographer who recently started printing at The Image Flow. "Some people say the shots are mostly luck. I believe it’s knowing the animal, knowing its behavior, knowing what it likes and where it likes to hang out. There’s a little bit of luck. And patience. Patience, patience, patience." - Cole Ridges "Upon seeing my prints from The Image Flow, I couldn’t stop smiling. This is the first time—you could say in 20 years—that I actually felt like I accomplished something." - Cole Ridges To see more of Cole's work, visit @colemanridges and colemanridges.com Read more about Cole's work on theimageflow.com under the tab The Flow Features. #theimageflow #wildlifephotographer #printphotography #theflowfeatures

Opening Reception: Saturday, June 6, 2026 - 5PM-7PM The Image Flow invites photographic artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our 4th Annual juried photography exhibition, Queer Conscience 2026. We probably don’t need to inform you that queer rights are under attack, unlike ever before. Queer Conscience seeks to push back against these forces and affirm our own truths through the photographic medium. In this juried exhibition, set to coincide with Pride month, we ask queer artists to express their resistance and share their truest queer journeys with us. Join us in celebrating our community and our creativity with a clear conscience.

In 2008, Stuart Schwartz founded The Image Flow with one initial goal: to provide high-quality photographic printing services to Marin County – because, in the words of Stuart, “it’s not a photograph until it’s a print.” The Image Flow aims to celebrate photography in all its forms and to provide a local hub for photographers of all levels to create work, exchange ideas, and innovate the medium of photography. “We believe in the power of the printed image, building a community of creatives, and being a space to come together to celebrate art.” - Page Sullivan, Front Desk & Digital Media Manager Check out Marin’s highlighted happenings at the link in our bio. #ACCM2026 #JoyActionPower #MarinCultural @theimageflow @caforthearts @create_ca @calartscouncil

Thank you for joining us on Saturday for the Opening Reception of Between Garden & Wild, photographs by Kimberley Carr Harmon! Exhibition Dates: March 28 – May 22, 2026 "I am drawn to places that feel lightly touched by time; old stone walls softened by moss, weathered wood buildings, ancient trees and quiet churches that have stood for centuries. These elements speak to resilience, patience, and belonging." -Kimberley Carr Harmon @kch.photo #photography #photographyexhibition #naturephotography #marincountyphotographer #printphotography

The Flow Features: Steve Besselman Wondering how these complex photographs were made? Steve shares “a lot of my shots are full or partial reflections. Everything is a single image, not combined or layered with other images.” He began printing his photos at The Image Flow a few years ago, then we invited him to one of our workshops, The Photo Challenge. Steve says workshops are “a great way to take your creative impulses and develop them into an engaged direction. The Image Flow has a talented, warm community of instructors, mentors, photographers, and students.” To see more of Steve's work, visit @sbesselman780 Read more about Steve's work on theimageflow.com under the tab The Flow Features. #photographyworkshop #theimageflow #photographer #streetphotography #photographyproject #sanfranciscostreetphotography

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 18, 2026 - 5PM-7PM The Image Flow is proud to announce Between Garden & Wild, an exhibition of photographs by Kimberley Carr Harmon @kch.photo "In a world defined by busyness, I choose to wander. I slow down, pause, and notice the quiet beauty that is so often passed by. My photography grows from these moments of stillness, when nature reveals itself not as a backdrop, but as a presence to be felt." - Kimberley Carr Harmon Read more and preview the Current Exhibition at theimageflow.com, linked in our bio. #openingreception #photographyexhibition #fineartphotogrphy #naturephotography #marincounty #landscapephotography
