My name is Dan McCormack and after completing an MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I taught Photography on the college level for forty years. Currently I teach photography full time at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY where I head the photography program.  I have been active in creating and exhibiting my personal photographic imagery also for forty years. I won a NYSCA CAPS Fellowship in Photography in 1982 and I published a small monograph of nude images of my wife, Wendy, “Body Light: Passages from a Relationship” in 1989. Around 1976, I was a founding member and served for ten years on the Board of Directors of the Catskill Center for Photography, now known as the Center for Photography in Woodstock.  In 1988, I was a founding member of Level 3 Gallery in Philadelphia. Level 3 was a photography collective where membership entitled participation in group and solo shows. I actively participated  in Level  3 Gallery for two years while living in Accord, NY.  I won the Figurative Photography  Grant of  $ 5000.00 in March 2009 from the Ultimate Eye Foundation, a not for profit corporation in California.

I have had solo shows of my work at the School of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in April 2005 in conjunction with a workshop and in March 2006 at the Coffee Gallery in Kingston, NY,  GoNorth Gallery in Beacon, NY in February, 2008 and  the Photography Center of the Capitol District in Troy, NY in January 2010. At the Photography Center in Troy, I showed over fifty images from ten diverse series made from 1990 to 2010. On August 24^th of 2012,  I had a solo pop up show of 20 images in Behind the Green Door gallery in Kingston, NY. I am having a solo show titled, “Nude at Home” at the Barrett Art Center from May 18 to June 24,  2013.
