  • Photo Shows On Display Here made up the populace of the region, a group descended from the Scots and the Irish. Their gentle manner and the hardships that plagued their lives is evident in this exhibit. Even though the poverty of the people is obvious, one nevertheless senses a kind of warm glow at the natural process of the life around each of them. The highlight of the show is the color photography that is displayed in the main area of the gallery. Although there are only two or three prints in this portion, the ones that are displayed are the pinnacle of the show. The show is an uplifting tribute to Romanes, who died in 1975. The prints are technically well done and are presented well, although some of the mounting boards are beginning to show their age. The exhibit will remain open through September 25. hy Rick McDaniel To anyone wishing to better understand the people of the region in which we all live, the current photography exhibit now on display in the Mountain Heritage Center is a must. The show by 'Romeo' Romanes, is a cultural portrait of the Appalachians during the middle years of the century. Romanes, a pioneer in color newspaper photography was also an ornithologist and botanist. Romanes moved to the U.S. in 1914 to avoid conscription by the German army in World War I. He was a native Scot, but lived in Germany during his childhood. The photos displayed here are like a time machine, spanning time, generation and culture. The period represented in the show is from 1925 until the mid-1950's. During this time of change in the region, the people portrayed here seem unfettered by the yolk of the time, almost as if they hadn't heard of the changes that were coming. The subjects of the striking works are the people who by Ray Menze "The Tryon House" a series of black and white photographs by Peggy Robertson, a WCU graphic design major, is well worth your attention. The collection of twenty prints currently on display at the U.C. Chelsea Gallery offers a revealing look at people at home. Mr.Frog'S Wine & Keg Shop LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF MILL & MAIN ST.

COUPON'COUPON'COUPON'COUPOriTCOUPON'COuPON'COUPON'COUPONl Tryon House is a 1918 apartment building in downtown Charlotte. According to the photographer's preface, "I was fastinated by the unique personalities of the people...some have lived here for 50 years, others are transient. Here are some of the residents." Miss Robertson seems to possass a master key to unlock each door. Once inside, her camera records the interior scene. Some residents appear to say, "Oh hello, who are you," or "What do you want," while others suggest, "Look-can't you see I'm busy." Whatever the greeting, the welcomed guest or unwelcomed intruder faces a rich variety of people and environments. Regardless of how or why we are there, the fact is we are confronting strangers, looking them directly in the eyes, awkwardly sensing each other's presence. For a moment at least the silence is chilling. In time, the silence is broken. Although we are just visitors, the residents make time for us. We feel a different mood in each apartment. Some are warm, other are cold. Hypothetically every apartment may be said to mirror the personalities of it's tenants. It seems true that people tend to create interior environments which reflect themselves. Residents are seen juxtaposed with their personal objects. Some visually blend into their surroundings, others communicate through body language. The photographs in the exhibition do not glorify or criticize. Written captions serve only to identify residents, their ages and occupations. Nonetheless, they are reminders of the isolation each of us encounters in our daily living by the doors and walls tha^ separate people and places. We all need a place to call our own, our own privacy. Yet, interestingly, this portfolio of images serves to unite us. The photographs allow the viewer to participate in a social experience in which the photographer can evoke feelings that may be shared with the appreciative observer. Technically the pictures- are superbly printed. Their cleanness and clarity enhances the reality of the recorded moment. The wideangle lens allows a panoramic view of each interior. In Tryon House we not only "meet" it's residents and see how they live, but we participate in a penetrating photographic experience.
