PHOTOGRAPHS DO NOT BEND EXHIBITION

Pleased as can be to have been included in the PDNB exhibition True South alongside so many great names whose work has transformed and inspired me since I first picked up a camera. PDNB is my favorite hometown photo gallery run by the power duo Burt & Missy Finger.

Catch it before it comes down April 15!

True South PDNB Gallery 154 Glass St., Suite 104 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday Free

“There are many colors to the South, specifically True South, a group exhibition at PDNB Gallery that runs through April 15. The show features diverse works — landscapes and environmental and classic portraits — on Southern subjects ranging from the Mississippi Delta to Texas. Artists include Keith Carter, Earlie Hudnall, Jr., Brandon Thibodeaux, Shelby Lee Adams and more.” - Dallas Observer

Appalachian Portraits

Shelby Lee Adams, photographer; Lee Smith, author

Appalachian Portraits, is full of vivid photographs of men and women living their everyday lives in the Appalachian Mountains area of eastern Kentucky.

Though the people of Appalachia have been photographed often--by Lange, Evans, Bourke-White, Ulman and others--there has not been, until now, a photography book of this genre with an insider's perspective.  Here in pictures and in words the photographer Shelby Lee Adams and the novelist Lee Smith explore their unique Appalachian homeland. The result is an intimate book charged with powerful feelings.  --the publisher (rev.)

Come witness these stunning photos for yourself at the Clarence Ward Art Library!
