Carper photos

now at Neill

A special exhibit featuring vibrant photographs of the Palouse by Ken Carper is now on display at Neill Library in Pullman. Registered architect and professor emeritus at Washington State University where he taught architecture and construction management for 38 years, Carper has always enjoyed photography, especially of Palouse landscapes and barns.

Since his retirement in 2010, he has been able to devote more time to photography and his other hobby, fly fishing.

This year, his photo, Palouse Falls: Early Spring Sunset, was selected the “2014 Photo of the Year” in a contest that attracted several thousand entries from around the world.

The art exhibit will be on display through June 8. For information about specifics, contact Ken Carper.
