The Outer Cape in Black and White
Photographs by A. Daniel Hauser (Oct 17-29, 2023)
Opening reception: Friday Oct 20, 5-7pm
A. Daniel Hauser (1928-2017) summered on the Outer Cape for over thirty years. His love of the sights and sounds of the area was matched by his love of photography, from taking the photographs to developing them in his darkroom at home. A. D. Hauser photographed what he lived, from European immigrants on his Navy ship in the 1950’s, to portraits of friends and family, to volumes of work on his surroundings in New York City, Europe, Canada, and of course, Massachusetts. His color series from the Audubon Sanctuary in Wellfleet brought him great joy, as did his black and white photographs taken in Provincetown and Truro.
A. Daniel Hauser was a Summa Cum Laude graduate of New York University and a 1953 graduate of Yale Medical School. He was a member of the Camera Club of New York, where he advanced his craft and his artistic vision.
A. Daniel Hauser began his photographic work as a young man with his beloved 35mm Leica and would go on to shoot color and black and white photographs, color slides and eventually digital work with an enviable collection of cameras. A. D. Hauser had shows of his work at Fordham University, as well as The Cathedral of St. John the Divine and in private establishments in New York City. The show at The Commons was all shot with 35mm film and developed by hand by the photographer in his darkroom.
