We are please to have the photography of Paul Kozal at First Street Gallery! Glen and Carol recently made a trip to Gualala to meet Paul and his lovely wife Carol.

Paul Kozal, a self taught photographer, was born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago.

Kozal's subject matter consists mostly of landscapes, particularly in the American Southwest and the West. Moving to the Bay Area in 1996, Kozal's work now incorporates the landscapes of California's interior and coastal locales. Kozal works in two distinct areas: toned and hand-tinted black and white gelatin silver prints. His images incorporate atmosphere, mystery and evocative tones to create his unique signature style.
His photographs have appeared in numerous publications and are collected by private and corporate collections.
