Omar Lopex: Relámpago
Relámpago is Spanish for “lightning”, referring to the moments of illumination captured directly on solid metal plates for this exhibition of Omar Lopex’s intimate tintype photographs. A photograph documents reality without context: what appears to be a wide variety of traditional family portraits exploring different representations of familial relationships is in fact a complex game of pretend. Using a motorcycle specially outfitted with a darkroom to develop images on the spot, Lopex visited four different cities to meet strangers and become a part of their family for as long as it took to shoot and develop these images.
Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way in Oceanside, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., general admission $8, 760-435-3720, oma-online.org

Call them a power trio, pop-punk, alternative metal. As you wish. They grew up on it all.
