Andrew de Lory has been a photo-journalist and artist for over 60 years and continues to create inspired images and stories. The idea that “No people are uninteresting,” in Yevtushenko’s 1961 poem People, has influenced his life’s work. The collection photographs in Portraits—Local and Global reflect encounters—some planned others haphazard—with ordinary and well-known people in several countries since 1963, from Prince Charles on a Polo pony to a homeless person on a bench.
The portrait show will hang through May, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All are welcome.
