BUCHANAN, Mich. — The Buchanan Art Center welcomes photographer Butch Welch for an “Artist’s Talk” from 4 to 5 p.m. Friday June 12, where he will discuss work from his BAC gallery show, A Journey Along the Shores, which runs from Wednesday, June 3 through Saturday, July 18.

In his talk, Butch will discuss the images in his show, his shooting locations, as well as the role of lighting and the weather when taking his photographs. He will talk a bit about the lighthouses themselves, and will relate the stories behind some of his images.

Also covered will be the emotional connection Butch feels with the subjects while making the photographs, and later expressing those emotions through his prints. Free and open to the public.
