National Geographic photographer Sam Abell to hold an exhibition at Center for Photography

The Center for Photography has brought legendary National Geographic photographer Sam Abell to Charleston to teach a weeklong workshop. Unfortunately for the public, the workshop sold out almost immediately. However, the center is offering a photo presentation of Abell's "A Photographic Journey" today at 7 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Abell has worked with the National Geographic Society since 1970 and has photographed more than 20 articles on various cultural and wilderness subjects. He also has lectured on photography and exhibited his images to audiences throughout the world.

In 1990, Eastman Kodak published a retrospective monograph of his photographs titled "Stay This Moment: The Photographs of Sam Abell." A companion exhibit of his work was shown at New York City's International Center of Photography in November of that year.
