| Opening Soon: Robert Benjamin
| | Fort Collins-based artist Robert Benjamin thinks of himself as just a dad with a camera. In our new exhibition Robert Benjamin: Notes from a Quiet Life, opening November 13, he shares everyday moments of his family and hopes to inspire others with these common experiences. Curator Eric Paddock dishes on the photos. "The sheer magical presence of the people and things in his photographs remind me of the beauty any of us can find in everyday life, if we aren't too caught up in other things to stop and really look."
