“Capturing Egypt” – by Noreen Doyle

March 18th, 2008 - Tuesday night at 7:00PM

Place: 160 Water Street - Harlow Gallery – Hallowell, ME

Open to the public, free.  

Noreen will present a slide show on touring and photography of Egypt, primarily to places associated with Akhenaten, the "heretic king" widely described as the world's first monotheist.  Her second trip, in January 2007, was taken as an independent traveler.  An archaeological team working at Wadi Gawasis, on the Red Sea coast, had invited me to visit, so I spent time at the excavation site as well as at some other places of interest, including Luxor and Cairo. Noreen's book "OtherWorldly Maine" will be published by Down East Books in August, 2008 and Noreen is currently busy writing for an upcoming book on world mythology, as well as other novels. What is Egyptomania? Come join us in beautiful Egypt.

“BetterPhoto Presentation”

"Creative Process of Photography" - by Harold Strout, Photographer

Harold background is primarily in black and white, (large format), he also
does color work. Harold over the last two years, has been involved in operating his own
studio and will talk about his experiences with commercial portraiture along with the presentation of Fine Art work. Harold will show work completed and framed in order to share the work as it would be exhibited in public. Harold's work will allow for discussion,
as the imagery is not particularly limited in subject matter, ie., all landscape, all portraits. He has a strong interest in discussing the "creative process", conceptual aspects of photography, history, of a his/her working philosophy. Visit http://www.haroldstroutphotographer.com/
