Act II - Photography of Del Kimbler

April 28 through May 29

a lifetime in photography (so far)

Del Kimbler has been, roughly in sequence, a student, a photographer, a soldier, a NASA technician, a student again, and an engineer/educator. Photography has been a common theme to all of these, at least on a casual basis, but he never forgot the fundamentals he learned with a simple camera and black and white film.

With the development of digital photography, his interest in photography was rekindled, with a fine art focus. He began rediscovering old skills and developing new ideas, leading to several works exhibited in Greenville, Columbia, and Clemson, as well as in two international shows (Kortrijk, Belgium and upcoming in Tianjin, China).

As he nears the end of his educator career, he is devoting more time to photography and things related, and has become a familiar face among the Arts Center volunteers, as well as around the City of Clemson. This exhibit presents a sample from his life's work in photography, a collection spanning over 40 years, touching four continents, and comprised primarily of social landscape - photography of works and aspects of man and society expressing the photographer's personal vision. While sub-themes exist in this exhibit, its primary purpose is to span the limits of his past and present work.
