9 images from the Kyoto Series have been acquired by the Boston Public Library Permanent Collection.  Several more images, including the one above, need to be added.  If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to the library toward the acquisition of further photographs from the Kyoto series please contact me by email or Ron Michaux of Rolly-Michaux Gallery at 617.536.9898.

"The Print Department of the Boston Public Library continues to actively build our collections of contemporary photography by photographers working in the New England region.

"We were happy to add the photographer Robert Castagna to that growing list of photographers represented in our collection.  Our relationship with Robert started in 2002 when we purchased a selection of photographs that he took in the Copley Square area that were part of his exhibition in the Boston Room of the BPL called 'Just Outside'.

"The BPL is now actively pursuing the acquisition of images from Robert's latest project: The Kyoto Series.  The series not only represents the continuation of the photographer's strong imaging work but also his development as a photographer.  We hope that by acquiring images from the Kyoto Series we will continue the process of building a collection of Robert's work that will begin to represent the arc of his career as a photographer."
