“Pixels at an Exhibition”
December 15, 2007 – February 15, 2008

Beginning December 15, the Weise Gallery will feature the work of Barry S. Handwerger, recently retired University of Maryland Rheumatologist/Immunologist, who returns for his third individual exhibit of unique digital photography.

Photography has become a passion for Handwerger, who delights in the nuances he can achieve by modifying digital images. With an eye for unusual angles and composition, he focuses on diverse subjects that reflect his avid interests in world travel, nature and architecture. This exhibit showcases these themes.

“I bought my first real camera, a single lens reflex, in 1970 shortly after my first child arrived on the scene. With a good camera, I grew excited about the creative aspects of photography. In my own darkroom I spent whole evenings experimenting with image-enhancing techniques. About six years ago, I purchased my first digital camera and I was hooked!”

Co-founder of Digi-Docs, a local photography group, Handwerger contributed to its Weise Gallery show in 2006. His pictures adorn the walls of many UMB campus rooms.

A celebration of the exhibit opening will be held on Thursday, January 10 from 5-8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
