The Charleston Center for Photography, located at 654-D King St., in Charleston, SC, will offer the following lecture(s) including: On May 12, 2008, at 7pm - Luminaries of our Time with Brownie Harris. Throughout his career, Brownie has focused on people and what they do. Whether he is photographing the luminaries of our time, from presidents to prima ballerinas, or ordinary people at work in factories and on farms, his goal is to show their dignity. Whether working with a celebrity ego, such as David Brinkley or JFK Jr, or a camera-shy unknown, he approaches all his subjects with the same respect. The challenge of finding and showing hidden beauty in the working world drew Brownie to corporate photography. Even when the location has nothing to offer, Brownie can build a picture that tells the story. Future lecture dates are: June 19, July 14, Aug 11, Sept 8, Oct 13 , Nov 10, Dec 8, in 2008. For further info call 843/577-0647 or visit (www.center4photography.com).
