The photo gallery on the second floor of the new Student Services building is in the process of being named for Russ Solomon, City College alumnus and founder of Tower Records.
The Los Rios Board of Trustees is expected to approve the naming after Solomon at its next meeting in March, according to Mitchel Benson, associate vice chancellor of Communications and Media Relations.
The Solomon Gallery exists on the walls of the second-floor landing of the Student Services building, according to photography department chair Paul Estabrook. The second floor also includes the photography and journalism departments, as well as professional still-photography and video studios.
Solomon was the first artist to be showcased in the gallery of the new building last September and October with his Legends of Sacramento show, which featured photographs of nine well-known locals, according to photo professor Randy Allen. Solomon’s Community exhibit, comprising 200 portraits of people from all walks of life, was also shown in the Kondos Gallery during that period, Allen said.
The photography professors had specific ideas about the first show in the new space.
“We have a lot of great alumni, and we thought [the gallery] should be [named for] someone who was an alum,” Allen said.
“Russ was very interested in helping students out with a scholarship,” said Allen. “He donated a few of his old cameras. Eventually, [the show] became a fundraiser for the scholarship.”

Solomon was also the first photographer to use one of the new photo studios. “We were sorta testing out the studios as he was shooting,” Estabrook said.
Over the course of eight shooting days, Allen said, Solomon photographed more than 300 people for the project — mainly people Solomon knew.
The show’s opening was also used as a fundraiser for the photography scholarship fund, Allen said.
“The goal was $50,000, and that money will be put into an account for the photography department and photojournalism students,” said City College Public Information Officer Rick Brewer.
The first award that will be given this spring is a $1,000 photography/photojournalism scholarship, according to Ann Love, public services assistant for the City College Foundation. The recipient will be determined by the campus Honors and Awards committee and the Foundation office.
The idea for the gallery came from HMC Architects, who designed the space along with City College photo and journalism professors, according to Estabrook.
“We had this open space,” said Estabrook. “And the architect knew enough [that] instead of just making a walkway, he opened it up and he made a gallery, and we were happy as heck to have something like that.”
The current show on display in the new gallery space is work done by the late photo editor of the Express newspaper, Emma Foley.
