An opening reception for a new photography exhibit in Laupus Library will be held 4:30-6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17 in the library’s fourth floor gallery.
AJ Sours, physician assistant for the department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the East Carolina Heart Institute will present “Roadside Attractions: Stop and Smell the Roses.” The exhibit will be featured in the library’s Art as Avocation series for the spring semester.
Sours will showcase a collection of photography that captures the often overlooked beauty of nature. “While growing up in upstate NY, my father was a photographer for the local penny-saver newspaper, said Sours.” “He always had his camera close by for any Kodak moment that may have presented itself. I learned that very often, a Kodak moment will find you before you can find it no matter where you look. One has to be ready for it and expect it when it is least expected.”
The exhibit will be on display beginning February 17 through May 8. Visitors can view the exhibit located on the fourth floor of Laupus Library during normal operating hours posted at www.ecu.edu/laupuslibrary or call 252-744-2219.
