Amid these intense careers, he has leaned toward the finer things in life and has been exposed to it in a variety of settings.

AL’s varied tastes and life experiences show through his photograph.

This work is through the eyes of a Man who has seen too much yet still can see beauty. The exhibit “Shells” reflects the calm Al seeks in his mind.

Do stop in and view this beautiful exhibit.
