Russ Bolt has been photographing Virginia since early in her construction. He will be showing a few prints of his most popular color work along with some interesting compositions in b&w. His published books on other subjects will also be available. Thanks to Russ for being the featured artist for our Bath Art Walk debut TONIGHT 4-7pm at 27 Commercial Street.
