Howard and Saxe
To Exhibit Photos
At the opening reception,
June 5, 2:30-4 p.m. in the
Speizman Galleries, Shalom
Park, Jerry Howard and Allen
B. Saxe greet guests and
be happy to talk about their
photographs.
Both are avid amateur pho
tographers and have lived in
Charlotte about three years.
Both are members of the Jew
ish Conmiunity Center and
have been affiliated with
various educational insti
tutions.
. Jerry Howard came to Char
lotte with his wife Helene,
from Stonybrook, New York
as a retired high school
guidance counselor. The
Howards quickly became in
volved in the Charlotte com
munity in general and in the
Charlotte Jewish community
in particular. Jerry is current
ly Vice-President of Education
at Temple Beth El V’Shalom.
An imcle, Job Goodman, an
art instructor at the New
School in New York City,
taught many of the famous
such as Jackson Pollack. The
program Mr. Goodman was af
filiated with was part of the
WPA artist’s project during
the depression years. It was
this imcle who aroused Jerry’s
interest in art.
Jerry has been taking
photographs seriously for fif
teen years. He commented on
what he looks for and tries to
attain in his photos: “What
fascinates me most are build
ings, design and shades of col
or.” This is evident in his
works from around the world
— panorama to close-ups. He
doesn’t use a tripod, just a
steady hand and slow film to
achieve his breathtaking re
sults.
Allen Saxe moved to Char
lotte in 1985 from Florida and
is married to Jessica Schorr
Saxe. They have two children,
Eddie and Kafia. Currently he
is an instructor of urban
studies at Johnson C. Smith
University. As a member of
Temple Israel, he and his fami
ly are active in many phases of
temple life. Allen’s interest in
Judaism spans the ages from
ancient observance to contem
porary rituals. He is especial
ly proud that he has taught a
large group to blow the shofar;
they perform simultaneously
at Temple Israel services.
Figure studies and por
traiture are Allen’s specialty.
The photographs he will be
displaying at this time will be
from a recent trip to Kenya.
The clarity of the images and
jewel-tone colors will amaze
the viewer. Be sure to see
the majestic peacock from a
Kenya gcune reserve and the
tribal “Masai” in full regalia.
Children will especially enjoy
the lions, zebras and giraffes.
The reception and exhibi
tion, sponsored by the Visual
Arts Committee of The Foun-
daticm, is open to all. The
photographs will be on view
through June 30 during
Shalom Park operating hours.
Some of the photos are avail
able for purchase through the
Jewish Community Cent^. In
quiries are invited. Call the
JCC office at 366-5007.
