"When [William Faulkner] was once asked whether he thought [The Sound and The Fury] was his best, he replied, 'Well, best is the wrong word—that's the one that I love the most.'"

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPH is a group exhibition of concert and music-related photography that has been shot in San Diego and its surrounding areas. With a broad range of experience levels (from amateurs to hobbyists to freelancers to seasoned professionals), the project was assembled to field a wealth of tastes and perspectives from both local and national photographers who have all snapped photos of musicians here.

For this second installment, 17 photographers display over 150 different images from the extremely popular to the mysteriously obscure. Please join us to celebrate these fine moments in San Diego music history.
