Award winning photojournalist and seven-time Military
Photojournalist of the Year, Jeremy T. Lock, opens his first public photography exhibit in the lobby of One Arts Plaza in Dallas' Arts District on February 10,
2015.
The
photographic series Twenty-One is a showcase of Lock’s favorite
twenty-one thought-provoking images that encapsulate his twenty-one years of
service as a combat photographer. Lock embeds himself into the tragedies,
celebrations, and everyday realities of the world around him. The twenty-one
images selected are powerful, and implore viewers to live and feel those moments
just as Lock did when they were captured.
"My
photographic journey is rooted in my ability to capture the essence and reality
of humanity at its finest and at its worst,” says Lock. “I’ve captured
everything from the hunt for Osama bin Laden, to the playful nature of our young
military who are defending our freedom, and the plight of humans in search of
food after the Haiti earthquake disaster.”
His experience as a seasoned photojournalist have
led to his work being published in magazines, newspapers and books including
National Geographic, Time, New York Times, The
Washington Post among others. His work has also earned multiple awards
from prestigious organizations including World Press Photo, National Press
Photographers Association and Oasis.
The
exhibit, on display until Sunday, March 22, captures every step that Lock has
taken, camera in hand, steadily and skillfully documenting what we might not
otherwise ever see. “There is more to the world than what is outside your front
door,” says Lock. Twenty-One opens the minds of viewers and reminds those
that see each piece of the importance of sharing our experiences.
For
visitors to the Arts District, One Arts Plaza offers free garage parking after 5
p.m. with restaurant validation on weekdays and all day on weekends. Surface
parking is also available for $5 or valet parking is available for $5 with
restaurant validation.
