Bryan J. Smith is the featured artist for the 6th Annual Portraits of Ogden exhibit opening on Ogden’s First First Art Stroll, July 2, 5-9pm at Universe City, 2556, Washington Boulevard in Ogden. The show will continue through July 17. Gallery hours are Fridays, 5:00-8:00 and Saturdays, 1:00-6:00 pm. or by appointment (call Benjamin Jennings at 801-458-8959).

Bryan J. Smith of Eden is a relatively new resident in the Ogden area but he has rapidly become the ubiquitous photographer/promoter of local landscape, city life and residents through his work as a website designer. He has used his skills as a photographer to embellish what could be standard websites with continually updated photographs of community and business activities on the sites he manages.

Also an adventurer, Bryan carries his lens into extreme situations to share what is often unseen. The exhibit will include images from inside burning buildings, views from the edge of cornices atop Mr. Ogden, silhouettes of crimson flamenco dancers and the intense expressions of musical performance from the Ogden area.

A look at some of his work* will show you why he has just been contracted by the Ogden City Economic Development Department to assist them in their task of promoting Ogden City as the best choice for businesses and families that are looking for relocation alternatives. He is the perfect choice to deliver real-time photographs of a vibrant and lively city.

Smith is a graduate of Cal Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo ‘96 in Industrial Technology. He is the owner of DataZ.com, a cutting edge web development company specializing in “knocking it out of the park.” His photography is one of the fringe benefits his clients receive when he designs their website.

He is never seen without his camera. He says he is, “Working hard on making life fun. Building a network of community web portals and commercial websites for clients is a great way to learn about people and places. Living here also makes enjoying the greatest snow on earth easy!!”

This exhibit will be an up-to-the-minute portrait of a city. Expect to see Ogden and the surrounding area in its best light; full of life, beauty and the energetic people that live in the neigborhood. You will want to move to Ogden if you don’t already live here.
