First Friday Art Walk – March 2019

Charles Benton is a retired, native Kansan and resident of Topeka for 40 years. Like many people, his involvement with photography began with taking vacation pictures. Charles has always had an interest in art, but discovered early that drawing and painting were not his skill set, so photography became his artistic outlet.

Most of Charles’ photos in his exhibit have some aspect of nature as their subject. Consisting of images taken from his travels to Great Britain, Iceland, near his home, right outside his front door, and from every season. The great thing about photography is one can find interesting subjects wherever one goes around the world.

Charles hopes for people to see his love of creation and perhaps be moved to look at the world around them with a new eye while experiencing the sheer beauty (and sometimes strangeness) of this world we live in.
