February’s gallery exhibit will highlight the talents of photographer Steve Zimic. Take a look at outstanding images captured by a digital infrared camera as well as standard color film.

Photograph of Garden City tudor house by Steve ZimicSteve Zimic has been photographing on Long Island for over 30 years. He is a member and officer of the Nassau County Camera Club and works part time at Neptune Photo in Garden City. His images have been displayed in several shows and have received numerous awards from the Photographic Federation of Long Island. Steve’s latest passion is photography with a specially modified camera that captures only infrared light. These images have a somewhat dreamy aura to them and are rendered with a brown (sepia) tone.

Funding for gallery and showcase exhibits is provided by the Friends of the Garden City Public Library. Installation and removal dates are subject to change.
