OUR CRITIQUE: Our own Fred Haaser

Fred started out in photography before age 10 using a B&W Polaroid swinger, moved to a full film kit in 1980, and then switching to digital starting in 2000. Today he is a serious amateur photographer using Pro equipment traveling on location in search of the best images possible. Fred retired from GE in 2016 after a 36-year career as an engineering manager developing 3 gas turbines for GE Aviation in Cincinnati. He is now working to capture images from all 60 US National Parks having completed 26 through 2018, and with a dozen or more planned for 2019.

PART 2: 2018 Burning Man Presentation – Everything You Want to Know

Burning Man is an annual festival that is a celebration of artistic self-expression held each year in Northwest Nevada in the Black Rock Desert. Selfless giving of one’s unique talents for the enjoyment of all is encouraged and actively reinforced. Some of these generous outpourings of creativity include experimental and interactive sculptures, buildings, performances, and art cars (‘mutant vehicles’).

These contributions are inspired by the yearly theme, which is chosen in advance by the organizers. Fred attended the 2018 Burning Man whose theme was “I Robot.” His goal will be to share with you the background of Burning Man, images, and a video to give you a full appreciation of this truly amazing American phenomenon. And Burning Man art is coming to the Cincinnati Art Museum in late April, so you will be able to see for yourself some of that self-expression.

OVCC will schedule a Meetup to visit the Burning Man at the Cincinnati Art Museum in April.
