VILLAGE ARTS News:
Naturescapes by Doug Coombs is a solo photography exhibition at Village Arts, 216 DP Road, that invites the viewer to glimpse stunning landscapes and unique animal encounters. The exhibit runs through through Nov. 13.
Coombs’ work promises to take viewers across the country, and around the globe, and with his emphasis on the big skies of the west and his Milky Way photography, there’s a chance that he’ll even transport the viewer across the universe!
Coombs’ own journey with photography as a medium began as a teen with film-based photography. In the early 1980s he photographed sports at the University of Arizona, where he worked as a darkroom tech and photographer. Later when his kids played soccer for Los Alamos High School, he avidly photographed their matches.
Coombs is a retired software engineer/developer from Los Alamos National Laboratory and has been doing digital photography for more than 20 years. He lived in Los Alamos for 35 years where he co-chaired and chaired the Los Alamos Photography Club and Los Alamos Adobe Users Group. Commbs resides in Pagosa Springs where he is an active member of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club, but continues to actively show his work in Los Alamos. Coombsa and his wife Miyuki travel to destinations nationally and internationally on a regular basis to pursue photographic opportunities. Destinations include Africa, Brazil, Alaska, Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Park, Bisti Badlands, Arches National Park, Bosque del Apache, Colorado and more.
Village Arts is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at 216 DP Road.
