Photographer Brian J. Smith will share his photo exhibit with poet Larry Smith during the month of August at the Huron Public Library.
The two men have created a
strong collection of photo-poems, as well as landscape photography.
The senior Smith is the former Poet Laureate of Huron and a well
published poet and professor emeritus of Firelands College of Bowling
Green State University. The younger Smith is a graduate of Kent State
and Akron University of Law and is a lawyer with the area’s
Sivinski Law Offices. Both are long time residents of Huron, Ohio.
Larry Smith states, “I have
been so impressed with Brian’s work as a photographer that I asked
if I might place short poem responses within the context of his art
work. He agreed, and we have done 20 or so combined works called
photo-poems. Seven will be on exhibit.”
The main exhibit includes 12
large landscape photographs by Brian Smith of the area’s fields,
old houses, nature, and shoreline in summer and winter seasons. They
are part of a much larger collection. The exhibit during the month of
August is free and open to the public. Some of the photos may be seen
online at the web page http://smithdocs.net/bjsphotography
and on Smith’s Flickr pages at
