Peter A. Calvin

Jefferson Boulevard, Dallas: A Neighborhood's Main Street

This is our first one-person show of the colorful documentary work of Peter A. Calvin. He lives in Dallas and is currently an Ad Interim Instructor of Art, Photography at Texas A&M University, Commerce. He has taught on various campuses and has also run a commercial photography business. His work has been exhibited in the Dallas area on and off for over 30 years.

Before he taught, he shared a photography studio in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. A primary artery through Oak Cliff, Jefferson Boulevard, wasn’t as interesting back then, he notes. While working on his MFA last year, his project was to photograph different parts of town. He normally photographs buildings, but he observed with Jefferson Boulevard that “the story was the people inside.” See his online article in the June, 2006 issue of D Magazine.

Peter A. Calvin produces outstanding 12 x 18 inch ink pigment prints. The photographs are also made digitally. Prints matted to 19 x 24 inches sell for $380.00.
