The husband and wife photography team Harvey and Bernadine Abend will present "From Our Eyes To Yours" at Central Bank April 28 through May 19.
The exhibit includes photographs taken in Holland, Portugal, Ecuador, Mexico, United States and Canada, with 25 percent of the photos taken in Nepal.
Harvey Abend is a chemist by training with both B.A. and M.A. degrees. Holding four U.S. patents for photographic processes, Abend joined IBM in efforts for developing photographic imaging processes.
After being elected a member of the Society of Photographic Scientists and Engineers, Harvey was awarded in the commercial category for the photograph, "Picture, What Picture?" by the Kentucky Professional Photographers Association.
Although Abend has studied under a former student of Ansel Adams and other well-known photographers, he still owes his inspiration to his wife and co-exhibitor, Bernadine.
Bernadine Abend is a registered nurse and holds a B.S. degree in social work. Abend has spent most of her nursing career in staff and management positions at the Veterans Administration Hospital.
Abend entered in to photography in 1990 and immediately attended numerous workshops in the Galapagos Islands and Nepal.
Recognized after only her second year of photography by the Lexington Creative Camera Club as the Intermediate Color Photographer of the Year, Abend has already exhibited her photography at juried exhibits at the Lexington Opera House, the Lexington Art League Gallery and the Rasdall Gallery.
A reception honoring the two photographers will be held on April 28 from 4:30 until 6 p.m. in the bank's executive suite on the third floor.
