As usual, Susan Nalband of South Boston’s 555 Gallery has assembled a striking exhibition of fine art photography. Her gallery is devoted exclusively to this genre. Thirteen artists contributed to the current exhibition, which had its opening reception Saturday, Jan. 23, and runs until Feb. 20. The exhibition is entitled “Launch” and was curated with new collectors of fine art photography in mind. According to a description of the exhibition, “Launch features new or rarely exhibited work by artists.”

Be sure to stop in at 555 East Second St., to take a look – a long look.  The hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.
