Down the Well, a new exhibition and photobook by Brisbane photographer James Bourbon⁠
⁠
Curated by luke_henery, the exhibition documents Jacobs Well and its surrounds, a curious pocket of South East Queensland. Despite being so close to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it feels a world away. Beautiful, eerie and a little out of step with everything around it.⁠
⁠
Photographed over several years, Down the Well is a record of a landscape that's slowly disappearing.⁠
⁠
The exhibition also marks the launch of a new photobook, published by Ritual Press⁠

leicastoresf The Gallery at Leica Store San Francisco is pleased to present Life in Plain Sight: The First 25 Years of Hamburger Eyes, an exhibition in collaboration with Hamburger Eyes HAMBURGER EYES, celebrating a quarter century of independent photography and its enduring contribution to the Bay Area’s photographic community.

Founded in 2001 by Ray Potes Ray Potes, alongside David Potes and Stefan Simikich, Hamburger Eyes began as an independent photo zine and has grown into an influential platform for documentary and street photography. Through by Potes’ vision and dedication, the publication has cultivated a distinctive photographic voice, championing photographers who capture the world with curiosity, honesty, and unfiltered eyes.

Life unfolds in the spaces between the extraordinary and the ordinary. A fleeting gesture, a passing stranger, or a quiet corner can reveal the poetry and contradictions of everyday existence. Bringing together the spirit of Hamburger Eyes and the photographers who have shaped its journey, this exhibition reflects 25 years of looking closely at the world. It pays tribute to Ray Potes’ vision, the independent voices behind the images, and the creative community that has grown alongside the publication. At its heart is an invitation to pause, look again, and discover the extraordinary in the world right before our eyes.
