PHOTOADVENTURES

“Kevin Morley’s Photoadventures are often-amusing reflections and unusual experiences revealing rare insight to the story behind the image. As a child he was inspired by the vivid colors of his first sunset photo. But taking his mother’s advice, he turned his lens toward people, which provided much more fodder for his musings in his professional life. Morley is an open book revealing how working as a newspaper photographer, his acceptance of everyone he meets results in many, unique and idiosyncratic exchanges. I recall Morley’s positive attitude always opened doors for him at the university where I met him years ago. His candor today divulges openness and naivety and yet, sincerity and persistence drive him to make honest, solicitous and sometimes hilarious photographs. Morley takes the reader on memorable assignments such as a visit to a nudist camp, his shocking arrest while covering spring break, as well as surprises he had while photographing politicians and celebrities. I appreciate his approach and thoughtful quips of advice when he shares the oddities and quirky, chance meetings he has had when photographing everyday people throughout his long journalistic career.”
