Now celebrating a 60-year photographic career, Jim Richardson will offer a new print show at Small World Gallery called “Legacies.” In the show, Jim will reflect on the wide range of subjects he has covered, both here and around the world, for National Geographic Magazine.

Richardson said, “It has been fulfilling as I develop my archive to gather images into coherent bodies of work. But it was also rewarding to recall all the people who aided me in their production: farmers, scientists, archeologists, pilots, gamekeepers, fishermen, ranchers. the occasional friendly sheepdog and landscapes from the Great Plains to the Moors of Scotland.

“Many of their legacies are to be found here, too. Every story was a new world.

“At first it may seem that subjects in ‘Legacies’ are diverse and disconnected, but in each story I almost always found links back to my roots in Kansas — my formative years on my mom and dad’s farm and early photography in rural Kansas.”

Richardson’s new show opens on Saturday, November 8 and will run until Saturday, March 21. Signed and numbered prints will be available for order, and 5- by 7-inch greeting cards featuring his works from the show will be available for purchase. All of Richardson’s prints and cards are made by him.

Since 2002 he has displayed his work at Small World Gallery on Lindsborg’s Main Street.

Having his own gallery changed the way Richardson looked at the art of printing his own photographs, said his spouse Kathy.

“It is a rare thing — a photographer of Jim’s background dedicated to one small storefront for so many years. While Jim’s work has been temporarily displayed in many more distinguished forums by other organizations, Small World Gallery in Lindsborg has remained his North Star.”
