Sky, Earth and Water: Peterich Photographs at Ohio University

Charles Allen Smart reviews Miss Peterich's "Sky, Earth and Water" show at Chubb Library Ohio University. He praises composition, technique, and the series structure, highlighting favorites like Fog in the White Mountains and Sunrise from Mount Washington, and notes the absence of human figures yet acknowledges the impact of weathered textures and cloud studies. He calls for a future exhibit featuring human subjects and compares Peterich's learning to Karsh, ending with high regard for her control of light and form.
