Many of you in Albany are familiar with Don Fisher's photography. His work includes historical photos of Radium Springs. The exhibit currently at the FlintRiverquarium has some Radium Springs photos never before exhibited. There's a quirky little story behind this exhibit.
As a result of a small mishap at the printer, some of fisher's Radium Spring Master Digital Copies were lost. I won't go into all the details, but it was a long, emotionally exhausting ordeal for Don. His Radium Springs photos are some of his best selling, most popular work ever. These works aren't lost forever, but the Master Digital Copies are gone, so it will require further work on Don's part to reprint these photos in the future.
In an effort to meet his deadline for this exhibit, Don went back through his old box of negatives from various photo shoots he did in the area before the casino was destroyed. Ironicaly, he found some additional negatives from the old photo shoots at Radium Springs that he did not realize he had taken. These newly rediscovered photos are some of his better ones from the shoot. They have been hiding out in a box all these years, just waiting to be rediscovered.
Fisher has assembled more than 20 images of Radium Springs which was the inspiration for the 175,000-gallon blue hole exhibition in the Flint RiverQuarium.
Don't miss the exhibit, it runs until December 7, 2008. Admission to see the art is free.
