Charleston native eyeballs Egypt and Tibet
"Egyptian Barber" by John Fluharty
Charleston native John Fluharty travels far and wide in search of striking photographs. He has exhibited photos from his travels in Nepal in past years in Charleston. Starting Friday (Sept. 15), ten new photos he shot in Egypt and in Tibet in 2005-06 are featured in a show at the Cultural Center in the state Capitol Complex.
The exhibit, in the 2nd floor balcony gallery, includes images of a monk seemingly lost in the ruins of a temple destroyed by the Chinese government; a Tibetan girl listening intently to a nearby conversation; an Egyptian butcher awaiting customers at the market; and the shot above of an Egyptian barber taken late one evening at a village in southern Egypt. "In choosing these photos, I looked for an intimate relationship between the subject and his environment," says Fluharty.

This looks like some nice work, it will be good to see it "in the flesh" so to speak.
Wow, three photography exhibits in Charleston at one time!
I agree. As they were coming in and we were typing them up, I thought, this is odd -- a three-fer. And welcome.
Amazing. This guy is going places. He has real instincts.
It won't be long before he's working at the Christian Science Monitor or National Geographic.
