"Fall River Ups and Downs", 30"x40" (32"x42" framed), 2006

Lance Keimig is a Pembroke, Masssachusetts based photographer who is best known for his night time photographs of the built environment. The image Fall River Ups and Downs is part of his ongoing Millscapes series. Drawn by the bold graphic shapes of industrial architecture, dramatic night-time lighting and an interest in New England history, Keimig photographs old textile mills at night. He eventually plans to publish the project in book form.

Keimig has been teaching photography since 1997, at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, The Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, the New England School of Photography in Boston, and leads his own workshops in California, Texas, Massachusetts, and internationally. In 2003 Keimig founded the Mono Lake Photo Workshops in California, to promote interest in the fragile ecosystem of the Eastern Sierra through photography. In 1997, he cofounded The Nocturnes Night Photography workshops in San Francisco with Tim Baskerville. His photographs are held in numerous collections including The Art Complex Museum, The Boston Athenaeum, The Boston Public Library, State Street Bank, Fidelity, Hitachi, Rayovac, and 3 Com Corporations. Keimig is represented in Boston by the Pepper Gallery, and is the curator of Darkness, Darkness, and the Three Columns Gallery at Harvard University.
