Look forward to the May Meeting with Norman Barker

After that great film about Joe Sartore, the Nat Geo photographer, that kicked off of the new 2014 educational sessions, I think you will really enjoy our speaker on May 28, Norm Barker, who is an expert of international renown.in the for-us arcane area of medical photography.

Norm Barker MS, MA, RBP is an associate professor of Pathology and Art as Applied to Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine. He is Director of Pathology Photography and Graphics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. A graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art, he also holds a M.S. from Johns Hopkins University in education as well as a M.A.

from The University of Baltimore in publications design. 

He specializes in photomicroscopy and macro photography. He is a fellow of the Biocommunications Association and his work appears in textbooks, journals and museums worldwide. His photographs are in the permanent collections of more than forty museums including The Smithsonian, The George Eastman House, The American Museum of Natural History, The Nelson-Atkins Museum and The Science Museum in London. He has published 6 books and numerous scientific articles. His new book collaboration “Hidden Beauty: Exploring The Aesthetics of Medical Science” shows the beauty of medicine and the human body and will be going on a museum tour in 2014-2018, the first stop, The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia.

To whet your appetite, here is a link to some of his work, Ancient Microworlds.
More details will follow as the meeting gets closer.

This session will be heavy on 'things to see' and Norm will be getting there an hour early to set up so this is a no miss meeting.
