FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Brookfield, NH Photographer Tom Lavoie
to Exhibit at the Franklin Gallery in June
The Franklin Gallery at Ben Franklin Crafts, 60 Wakefield Street in Rochester, will host an exhibit called Black, White and Camera -- monochromatic images by Brookfield, New Hampshire photographer Tom Lavoie -- for the month of June during regular business hours.
Lavoie, a member of The National Association of Photoshop Professionals, has studied photography and Photoshop techniques with New Hampshire photographer Jim Block and noted San Diego photographer Tony Sweet. He has also had one-on-one coaching with other world-renowned photographers including Rick Sammon, Tony Corbell and Laurie Schupp.
He has attended seminars with Joe McNally of National Geographic, Robert Beck of Sports Illustrated, Vincent Versase (a Smithsonian Award Associate) and George Dewolfe, a student of Ansel Adams and Minor White.
Tom Lavoie’s passion for photography began several years ago when he found himself attempting to capture images on an early digital camera -- a SonyMavica -- while touring in Europe as a professional trumpet player. It was there that the seeds of his blossoming career as a photographer were sewn.

“Dealing with the frustrating limitations of that camera, while photographing in the dim light of cathedrals and opera houses, motivated me to upgrade my equipment” says Lavoie. “It also convinced me to begin what has happily become a lifetime of learning and developing my skills as a photographer. I hope other professional photographers and lovers of photography will stop by the Franklin Gallery and see my work.”
The Franklin Gallery and Ben Franklin Crafts are open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
