RayKo Photo Center: The New Forty-Niners - Sarina Finkelstein; Scavenger, Adventures in Treasure Hunting - Jenny Riffle.

Comment by AB: Prospectors continue to scour the Sierra foothills searching for gold over 160 years after the Forty-Niners strafed pretty much all of the best stuff for themselves. Sarina Finkelstein's photographs are all about that. In a related take on the same get-rich endgame, Jenny Riffle photographs those who riffle through the residue of others in search of lost, trashed, forgotten or misplaced treasures. The images of some of their salvaged "valuables" prove once again that there's a market for absolutely everything.

Comment by AB: Yes, it's the Hospitality House annual fundraiser art auction and yes, it's for a great cause. We all know that. But there is so much art by so many artists from so many different sectors and eras cramming every square inch of available wall space, that for you who love beating the bushes for bargains, attendance at this event is required. A superb opportunity to simultaneously give back and buy right.
