Homewood couple’s ‘Angels and Relics’ photography exhibit on display

The work of two Homewood residents, Steve Kinney and Kathy Hagood, is currently on exhibit at the Evelyn Burrow Museum in Hanceville. The engaged couple’s new photography work, titled “Angels & Relics: From Florence Italy, to Florence, Alabama” will be on display in the Exhibit Hall of the Burrow Center for Fine and Performing Arts through the end of the year.

According to a Wallace State Community College news release citing the couple’s blog, the exhibit features 60 of the couple’s favorite photographs that “celebrate exquisitely aged stone figures and vintage vehicles found and photographed primarily in the deep south, but also far beyond.”

Hagood’s work, according to the release, focuses primarily on stone sculptures found in museums, parks and cemeteries. Kinney’s work, on the other hand, includes images of similar monuments, as well as photos of rusting cars and industrial machinery.

 “We enjoy giving a little more exposure to the beauty of bygone eras that might not be seen by as many viewers if not for our photographs,” the photographers explain on their blog. “When something is made to last, it won’t forever, but for a time as it ages, it may become even more lovely in different ways than the original designer could have foreseen.”

Kinney, an architect and award-winning fine arts photographer according to the release, draws inspiration from a wide range of subjects.  His work can be found at stevewkinneyphotography.com.

Hagood, a veteran photographer and writer, photographed weddings, events and portraits, according to the release. She is currently focusing on inspirational photographic art. Her work can be found at angelfinger.com.

The Exhibit Hall at the Burrow Center for Fine and Performing Arts is open Monday through Saturday, during regular operating hours at Wallace State Community College. The Evelyn Burrow Museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
