UA Little Rock To Host Photography Exhibition by Doyne Dodd

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock will host a photography exhibition by Doyne Dodd from March 4-29.

The exhibition, which is free and open to the public, will be on display in the Focus Gallery in the Windgate Center of Art and Design at UA Little Rock. A reception will be held in Dodd’s honor from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in the Windgate Center.

The exhibition features a collection of photographs of landscapes and buildings from Colorado to Arkansas and detailed images of interesting surfaces of buildings and objects.

Dodd has been taking photographs for more than 50 years. His interest in photography began in 1948 when a neighbor showed him how to develop film and prints from negatives in a darkroom. He has studied with and worked with many other photographers over the years, but venturing into the world of professional photography was never a life goal but a beloved lifelong hobby.

Dodd works with traditional film photography because of his love for the darkroom that began at the age of 14 as well as the unmatched appearance of a silver gelatin print. Most of his photographs have been taken with his medium format Hasselblad camera and processed to archival standards.

The UA Little Rock Art Galleries in the Windgate Center are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturday, and 2-5 p.m. Sunday.
