Library Presents Stunning

Free Photography Exhibit:

FAU Student’s “Into The
Blue”

The Boca Raton
Public Library’s new
photography exhibit,
“Into the Blue,” by Max
Blakesberg, is the result
of this creative FAU
student’s travels around
the globe to capture
intimate moments in
some of the most remote
places on Earth. His
goal is to express his
passion for photography
through compelling
imagery that educates
and provides insight
into the natural world
in which we live.
The free exhibit
is being held in the
Visitors to the Art in
Public Places area of
the Downtown Library.
Currently a student
at Florida Atlantic
University, Blakesberg
has a passion for the
ocean and outdoors. He
began his photographic
journey nearly a decade
ago when his parents
encouraged him to bring
a camera everywhere
he went. He captured
anything and everything around him while learning about
composition, lighting and subjective beauty. You can see
more of his work at www.maxblakesberg.com.
“Into the Blue” a free exhibit, will run through March
27 at the Downtown Library, 400 N.W. 2nd Avenue. It is
open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
