Bert Myers

A retired academic physician, Bert Meyers has long had a serious interest in photography as an art medium. Beginning in 1951, he studied in New Orleans with Eugene Delcroix, a master of light and composition. His interest in landscape and large format photography allowed him to study with Ansel Adams in one of the last courses the artist taught. In 1978, he began experimenting with using the x-ray as an art medium, developing the technique of taking radiographs of shells, flowers, and other organic objects. Although the technique is not original, it is quite difficult and not widely done. This is the focus of his collection.
