Friends of the Gallery volunteer Dianne Baker takes in the images
on show at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery, which is on show until
June 20.

Fraser Coast ChronicleMOMENTS of time captured through the
photographer’s lens grace the walls of the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery
for the next few weeks as the gallery hosts an exhibition of the
sixth Leica CCP documentary photography award finalists.

The styles reflect the individuality of the artists but the photos
have one thing in common: they aim to capture an aspect of modern life.

A combination of traditional and digital prints explores themes such
as war, politics, death and typical Australian lifestyles.

Included in the exhibition is a series of photographs shot in the
Afghanistan war zone by photojournalist Stephen Dupont.

Also at the gallery until June 20 is Joanna Kambourian’s exhibition,
Dim Memories of Exile.

The artist’s works were inspired by her quest to trace her family ties
during a trip to Armenia. She spent two weeks in an Armenian village
in 2007 during the filming of the ABC documentary Family Footsteps.

Both exhibitions run until June 20. Admission is free.
