The work of Salina photographer Douglas Hoesli is now being exhibited in the Salina Public Library’s Gallery 708.

The exhibit — “A Different Perspective” — is scheduled to continue through December 28. The exhibit is open during regular library hours: 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1-6 p.m. Sunday.

An artist reception is scheduled for 4-5:30 p.m. Friday, with refreshments and a chance to hear the artist talk about his photography.

A photographer for two years, Hoesli took a photography course in college on a whim and became passionate about the process. In 2010, he was injured in a single-car accident that left him partially paralyzed. After years of recovery, Hoesli rediscovered his love of photography, which in turn helped him find his spark for life. The work in “A Different Perspective” is the product of challenging personal and artistic boundaries.

“This last summer I found myself spending most afternoons downtown around Santa Fe just exploring our streets and alleyways. I would photograph many different things from well-known local landmarks to small barely noticeable tile work surrounding a door that is in complete disrepair,” Hoesli said.

“I feel if my photographs say anything, it is that beauty is all around us in various forms. I try to see the possibilities in the ordinary subjects that others may not notice the majority of the time,” he added.

Hoesli’s photographs also can be viewed at Douglas Hoesli Photography on Facebook.
