I don’t think it’s legal, to be perfectly honest, to have such an amazing Monday night. There’s some Constitutional or possibly even galactic law against it.

Logan Sorenson—whose vibrant photographs you’ve more than likely seen in SLUG—documents people. Currently located in the high-ceilinged industrial charm of the Sugar Space Arts Warehouse is Captured Locally, Sorenson’s solo exhibition that fittingly showcases the freelancer’s vast portfolio of locally taken snapshots with people—dancers, musicians, strangers—in the limelight.
