This year, Multiple Exposures Gallery (MEG) lost someone we loved. For 37 years, Clifford Wheeler was an unfailingly kind and generous member of MEG who made the gallery a vibrant destination for fine art photography. A founding member of MEG, and a master at hanging exhibitions, Clifford installed hundreds of solo and group shows in our space at the Torpedo Factory, always using his keen eye and well-honed aesthetic sense to find just the right rhythm and order. He was also a fantastic fine art photographer, wowing us for nearly four decades with his varied solo exhibitions (e.g. Axes Bold as Love, Thank You, Steve Jobs, and Doors of Deer), and his wide catalog of images that reflected the diversity of his interests. Clifford wasn’t just a member at MEG, he was an institution.

Clifford passed away in October. In his memory, below we share a small selection of his images, and a short blog post in which he recounts, with his always-present humor, the lessons he learned in a photography class. We also share links to several profiles and interviews featuring Clifford and his work.

Clifford, thank you for all you brought to our lives. You will be forever missed.
