March 2024 Members’ Gallery Trio Exhibition: David Boyd, Judy LaFratta, Dorothy Stout

On Display March 30 - April 26

David Boyd took his first photographs with a box camera when he was barely six years old and has been taking pictures ever since. He even carried a small camera in Vietnam.

Now that he is retired – from the US Army and the Federal Civil Service, he has more time to look for that elusive perfect photo. He is particularly interested in the beauty and mystery of nature.

He has published numerous photos in various magazines in the US and England and has shown his work in several galleries.
