The wide, all-encompassing photos by Port Coquitlam's Bart Zieba will be on the walls of the Port Moody Public Library next month.
Zieba is returning the library with an untitled exhibit to show his photography prowess, which he started 14 years ago while studying urban development at Simon Fraser University.
At first, Zieba zeroed in on cityscapes and architecture; however, it was during a trip to Poland and Germany that he took his craft to the next level by documenting the devastation still visible from the Second World War.
Now, he shoots part-time, allowing enough flexibility to commit to his charity and commercial gigs as well.
"I'm also waiting for some new photo gear to come in and then I'll be off to Tofino and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island for their storm season," he said, adding, "Travelling by car is always best for discovering new areas and stopping to take pictures. It's something that I wanted to do for a while now.
"I feel confident in that I can come back with the type of photos that I'm looking for," he said.
For the Port Moody library display, which starts Dec. 1, Zieba will have 16 to 20 framed pictures on show.
"I exhibit in a library because they are generous with their walls and the organizers are always helpful. The exposure is set where people take the time to browse at the art," he said.
