In 1975 armed with a brand-new 35mm Minolta film camera, 50mm lens, and a few rolls of black-and-white film I was set for the “Documentary Photography” class at Idaho State University for which I’d signed up. Or so I thought. I wound up with the worst grade of my college career in that class. However, learning that photography provides a different way of seeing and thinking, that there’s a lifetime of learning in it, overshadowed the value of any grade that could have been given. -Sally Mack, July 18, 2026
Exhibits
Annual exhibits at the UC Berkeley Faculty Club from 2003-2024 comprise the bulk of my exhibiting. The historic Faculty Club building, designed by Bernard Maybeck, has a solid redwood wall on which 10-15 my photos were exhibited. Across the hall from the exhibition space was a wall of windows overlooking a small garden, a beautiful setting with a welcoming audience.
Portfolio
Although the exhibits were fun they comprised a small portion of my photo catalogue. In this section, I show photos that I was not able to include in the exhibits.
