Photography Exhibit Coming to LBI Library

LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Long Beach Island Branch of the Ocean County Library will host an exhibit by photographer Frederick Ballet in the branch’s Meeting Room from May 1 to May 29.

Frederick Ballet has been fascinated with the natural world from an early age. Ballet was the first student to successfully complete the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center’s Contemporary Practices Photography Certificate program last fall.

"The beauty of the natural world has always filled me with an existential fascination,” Ballet says. “In my work I seek to balance realism with abstraction, at times capturing the surreal. My images give the viewer the smallest anchor of reality, leaving the rest to the imagination. My goal is for you to leave with a meditative sense of beauty, peace, and timelessness."

The branch is located at 217 S. Central Avenue, Surf City.

Registration is not required to view the exhibit.
