First Exhibit of 2012The Bankhead House and Heritage Center presents… Forty Years of Photography A Retrospective: Photographs by Pat Nelson and Cameras Through Time
Featuring award winning photography by Jasper native Pat Nelson Pat enjoys most forms of photography including nature and wildlife, street shooting, and sports. Influences on his photography are the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Thomas Mangelsen, plus the paintings of Edward Hopper. Pat is particularly drawn to neon signs, paper boxes, bicycles, unique street scenes and colorful patterns, natural and manmade. Pat is honored and flattered to be asked to have a showing of his photographs at the Bankhead House and Heritage Center. This is particularly meaningful considering the beauty and history of this magnificent structure that happens to be in close proximity to his birthplace, childhood home, boyhood elementary school and present residence.
