SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Internationally acclaimed photographer Ian Ruhter will return to his roots this fall with The Lake, a major exhibition of contemporary ambrotypes and tintypes at Lake Tahoe Community College’s Haldan Gallery, on view October 9 through December 11, 2025. In many ways, Ruhter’s photographic journey began at Lake Tahoe. His rediscovery of wet collodion photography, a mid-19th-century method using glass and metal plates, led to groundbreaking work on an unprecedented scale. Despite exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, Ruhter long envisioned showing these works where they originated—at the lake itself. Location: Haldan Gallery, Lake Tahoe Community College, One College Drive, South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
