Former actor Terence Ford, who was in “every soap opera ever shot in LA,” and then became a Hollywood refugee in the Napa Valley “because acting is not something grownups should do,”will exhibit his newest photographs — “1/8 of a sec. Slow Speed in the Fast Lane” — at the opening of the Deborah Page Gallery in Santa Monica.
Ford, an acclaimed commercial and fine art photographer who has carried a camera since studying at the London Film School in 1969, has shot everything from annual reports to Playboy layouts. He was assistant director on “Blade Runner” and worked for more than a decade as an actor, often playing a divorce attorney, to his dismay.
Deborah Page Schneider is an art consultant and curator of the artwork for CordeValle Resort, the Calistoga Ranch and many private collections, including those of Rene di Rosa and Danielle Steel. She created the acclaimed sculpture garden at the Auberge du Soleil Resort in Napa Valley with partner Susan Brandt, and she likes to discover and promote emerging artists.
The Deborah Page Gallery is located at 1028 Montana Avenue.
