An open house will be held on Thursday, November 7 to unveil the latest exhibit at the Lead Deadwood Arts Center featuring Roger O’Dea photography. Roger is an award winning photographer and longtime Black Hills area resident. He started making photographs with a Kodak Instamatic film camera in grade school becoming more serious about his craft while attending Black Hills State University. Searching out and finding the unique in the ordinary has always been his passion. Unique landscapes and alternate views of common objects and familiar places are his favorite subjects, often shooting in black and white to emphasize the contrast, shapes, and textures in a scene without the distraction of color. He finds his inspiration in the normal and natural, as well as the strange and sublime. In addition to creating digital images, Roger still enjoys 35mm film and Polaroid instant photography.

The open house will be from 5 to 7 at 309 W. Main (605-584-1461). The show will remain until December 27. The show is sponsored by Creative Explorations Nonprofit.
