Jim Glynn Photography Exhibit

 
Currently showing in the Delmar Riney Art Gallery at Pratt Community College are nature and wildlife photographs by Great Bend photographer Jim Glynn.  The exhibit consists of 40 large, beautifully matted and framed photographs.
Jim Glynn bought his first 35 mm camera in 1959 and since then has kept pace with technology, buying his first digital camera in 2003.  He currently uses a Canon 40D and 50D with a Canon 100-400 mm zoom lens as his main wildlife lens.  Glynn seldom goes anywhere without his camera.  Retired and living in Great Bend, he works part time to supplement his income, but the rest of his time is devoted to his real love, photographing the Kansas outdoors.  His knowledge of the outdoors stems from his early experience hunting large and small game in Kansas, Missouri and Colorado.  Although he still does some deer hunting most of his hunting is now done with his camera.  He sometimes sits in a wildlife blind but most of his work is found driving through Cheyenne Bottoms wildlife area in Quivira National Wildlife Refuge.  He also goes to Rocky Mountain National Park every year to photograph elk and sometimes moose.  Glynn says the good thing about digital photography is that he can take hundreds of photographs in a day and go home, download them on his computer and see them immediately. 
Glynn exhibits his work regionally and has won numerous awards.  He is a member of the Central Kansas Photography Club and his photographs can be seen at www.ckspc.org.  Mike Blair, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks did a video on Jim Glynn which can be seen at www.kdwp.state.ks.us  Kansas Outdoors Today, Friday May 8, 2009.
All photos in the Pratt Community College Exhibit are for sale.  The Delmar Riney Art Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 8-5 and for special college events.  For more information about this exhibit or the gallery please contact Marsha Shrack at 620-450-2191 or by email marshas@prattcc.edu.
