First-time gallery exhibit of The Blade photographers’ favorite photos of 2007

The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library presents a first-time gallery exhibit of The Blade photographers’ favorite photos shot over the course of 2007.

The exhibit, titled “The Year In Pictures,” is on view Dec. 19, 2007 through Thursday, January 31, 2008 in the second floor gallery at Main Library, 325 Michigan St., in downtown Toledo.

Nate Parsons, Blade director of photography, said some 24 photographs are displayed in the powerful exhibit, which includes moving images from the dove release to commemorate the lives lost in constructing the I-280/Veterans’ Glass City Skyway Bridge, to the funeral services of the late Toledo Police Detective Keith Dressel, who was killed in the line of duty by a 15-year-old male.
