Images capture the elusive _ beauty of the human condition By JENNIFER LANG MIKE WEEBER brings a journalist's passion for reality and an artist’s eye for form and beauty to his black and white photogra- phy. The 30-year-old New Hazelton resident, who's been taking pictures for 13 years, is drawn to the ordi- nary, and the extraordi- nary. He’s particularly fasci- nated by people, so it's no surprise the majority of the images in his latest exhibit — opening this week at the Terrace Art Gallery — are of people. The show, titled “A Glimpse of Human Nature”, is Weeber's ex- ploration of the people and places he’s encountered.

But the artist in him is #!so looking for something more elusive. “Tl like to show the beauty in a picture,” he says. “If I can have an im- pact on someone, if some- one will stare at my pic- ture for more than five seconds, I've accom- plished what [ set out to do.” He started taking photographs in high school, after his brother sold him a Canon 35-mm camera. He found a mentor who showed him how te develop film and work in the darkroom, Weeber now has his own, state-of-the-art darkroom, where he de- Calendar PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS Youth Art Exhibit April 14-30 at Youth Opp- ortunities.
