Experience the photographic work of Dave Carter at the Porter Hall Gallery this July.

Carter, who is originally from California, has been practicing his craft for more than 30 years and is now based in Arizona. His exhibit showcases his journey of finding the elusive spirit of places and things.

The exhibit opened July 1 and will continue through July 31 in the Tucson Botanical Gardens' Porter Hall Gallery.

The botanical gardens' website says:

 He believes that this essence is always given as a gift, for it can never be taken from the subject unwillingly. He also believes this spirit is fleetingly offered only when the artist’s consciousness is free and open, regularly enough to keep one drawn to the place where its presence is strongest.

The show will feature Carter's vibrant photography detailing moments in passing. 

There is an open artist's reception this Thursday, July 14 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way.
