Photojournalist Barry Donahue spent his life intimately capturing the world around him. His career spanned from his early days at Worcester Magazine, where he documented the city’s grittier side, to a long tenure as photo editor of The Cape Codder and eventually freelance work for The Cape Cod Chronicle. Barry was at his best exploring the rugged scenery and engaging with the vibrant people of his beloved Cape community, and had a rare gift for cutting through to the soul of every scene he framed.
Barry’s photographs are on exhibit in the Craine Gallery during the month of November during the library's open hours. A reception for this show will be held on Saturday, November 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All are welcome.
