Macon Arts Alliance is thrilled to house Curtis Hertwig’s latest project “Macro in Monochrome”
Curtis is from Macon, Georgia, but moved around a great deal while growing up. At 15 he took over his father’s Leica bellows 35mm camera and started shooting with Tri-X Pan. After a while, his father wanted his camera back and bribed Curtis with an Olympus 35RC rangefinder camera and a black & white dark room.
Fast forward 50 years & Curtis is still taking pictures but with DSLRs & drones & using his laptop as a color-dark room. He has been around the world a number of times in search of more and more pictures.
Nowadays, Curtis is retired & fills his time volunteering for various non-profits & traveling the world in search of sunrises & sunsets. He lives with his cat, Shadow, and has 3 daughters, 3 great sons-in-law (none of whom is good enough for his daughter), and 7 excellent grandchildren.
