Peter Tonningsen and Lisa Levine have been collaborating on a new photographic project. Peter and Lisa are friends, colleagues, and fellow teachers and they are developing a dialog about the tenuous nature of boundaries and how they can be defined, constructed, and commingled
lenscratch: Peter Tonningsen:
Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to meet California photographer, Peter Tonningsen, at Photolucida, but his images were well showcased at the event. Peter approaches and presents his work with a unique point of view, and his broad range of images and interests are quite refreshing. After studying art at the San Francisco Art Institute and San Jose State University, he is currently an adjunct photography instructor at The Academy of Art University and has also been an artist-in-residence at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley since 2006. In addition, Peter is the recipient of the Phelan Art Award in Photography, which recognizes significant California born artists.
