DATE: Tuesday, January 9, 2024
WHERE: Alabama Power Appliance Center 1313 6th Avenue North Birmingham, AL 35203
NOTE: This is a new location! In the past our January, March and July meetings have been held at the Alabama Power Corporate Building auditorium and it has been difficult for many to attend. To help make it easier, we are moving our meeting location to the Alabama Power Appliance Building located at 1313 6th Avenue North. This new location is easier to get to with ample parking. See parking instruction below.
TIME: 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. SPEAKER: Ken Boyd (Local Photographer)
Ken is a graduate of Jacksonville State University and The University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is retired from a career in environmental research with Southern Company.
He has been a passionate, enthusiastic, and award-winning photographic artist, researcher, and writer since the 1970s. His photographic work is often described as idealized, painterly and romanticized, and his approach to photography is simple – a clean, orderly, and optimistic representation for every image. His work, techniques and reviews have been extensively published in books, magazines, and journals. His latest book, entitled Historic North American Watermills, was released by The University of Alabama Press in December 2020. A book with the working title of Watermills of the Old South is currently in development with the University of Georgia. In 2021, he self-published a volume entitled Ancient Watermills – Wales and the Cotswolds.
He currently teaches photography courses at Samford University and taught at the University of Alabama at Birmingham from 1985 until 2003 on subjects ranging from traditional darkroom methods and vintage 19th century photographic processes to creative digital techniques.
We’re sure Ken will provide a very interesting presentation and discussion of his work and career.
Hope to see you there!
