“It is all birds this year. I’m a wildlife photographer, but my passion really is birds in flight.” — Lou Newman

Lou Newman hosted his 10th annual wildlife photography exhibit, “A Focus on Birds,” May 3, at Plymouth Harbor.

The exhibit features 82 photographs Newman took of birds this past year in the Galapagos Islands, Peru, New Mexico, Washington and Florida. The gallery will be on display until Sept. 17, in Plymouth Harbor’s Mezzanine Art Gallery.
