Who: Ken and Mary Goodrich
Where: Lighthaus Camera, 74-5614 Palani Road, Kona
When: August 5 through September 30, 2011
Lighthaus Camera has recently opened their new gallery with some of Hawaii Island’s best photography. The work of two Volcano photographers, Ken and Mary Goodrich, will be on display at Lighthaus Camera now through September 30. The exhibit is titled, “Images of East Hawaii” and have been taken on the East side of the Big Island and in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Though they often work together in the same locations, both photographers have different points of view. Ken Goodrich has eloquently photographed places of power and beauty, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Ken is current President of the Hilo Photography Club and has won numerous awards in photography competitions for his landscapes and images of the people of Hawaii. Many of his nature shots are woven into multi-media presentations utilizing projected imagery choreographed to music.
Mary Goodrich photographs the landscape, botanicals and enjoys finding abstractions in Nature. She has been a photographer for over 25 years. She formerly worked in a black and white darkroom to produce her prints, some of which are hand painted with oils. More recently, she has been using digital equipment and Photoshop. Her work has been seen in B&W and COLOR Magazines and she recently won 2nd Place in Architecture in an international competition sponsored by Hahnemuhle digital printing papers. Speaking of her work, she says, “I like finding quirky things in the environment, like a face in a rock or unusual patterns made by water or plants. These elements are like old friends. I see shapes and lines that I recognize as though they are in pictures I’ve already taken”.
Lighthaus Camera is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. For information call Lighthaus at (808) 326-7025 or Mary Goodrich, (808) 985-7487.
