Herb Bardavid, Photography
I have been passionate about photography since I was twelve when I converted my family’s only bathroom into a darkroom. Since then, I have taken courses in photography and darkroom techniques at Projects Incorporated in Cambridge, MA., a school started by Minor White; The New School; The School of Visual Arts; and most recently, at the International Center of Photography in New York City.
I have had ten shows. My first was in Cambridge, MA., in 1969, followed by the Third Eye Gallery in New York City, two shows in Great Neck, NY, a group show at the Umbrella Arts Gallery in New York City, a juried show by the Long Island Center of Photography exhibited at the African American Museum in Hempstead, NY and a group show at the Paper City Studios in Holyoke, MA., and two exhibits at A Photographer’s Place in Williston Park, NY. I have been published in the WBAI Folio, the Gotham Gazette, and PDN Photo Magazine. As a psychotherapist, I see things others may not. I view the world and its people through my own set of lenses, seeking change.
