The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts is excited to announce its upcoming exhibition, The Boomer List: Photographs Taken by Timothy Greenfield- Sanders. This exhibition features nineteen Baby Boomers, one selected for each year from 1946–1964.
Greenfield-Sanders’ decision to create The Boomer List was decided after the last Baby Boomer turned fifty.
