Artist Reception at Dubsea Coffee Saturday July 17

This coming Saturday evening, White Centerites will have the opportunity to feast their eyes on a stunning collection of photographs at Dubsea Coffee, where photographer Anne Jennings will host the opening reception for “A to Zambia,” a sampling of some of the astonishing images she and her husband have captured while living in Zambia with their two children over the past two years.

The Jennings, formerly of West Seattle, headed to Zambia in 2008 to throw their weight behind the “War on Malaria.”  They took along a digital camera gifted by their children’s grandparents, who provided it so as not to miss out on the special moments in their grandchildren’s lives.  As it turned out, they got more than they expected; the Jennings have produced a wealth of exceptional photographs of the people, wildlife, and countryside of Zambia, documenting everything from giraffe knees to coffee plantations to portraits of their new neighbors and friends.  The family keeps an absorbing blog of their adventures and selected photographs; check it out if you’d like a preview of the art you can see at Dubsea.

Artist Anne Jennings will be on hand at Dubsea this Saturday evening to answer questions about her photographs and her family’s work and adventures in Africa.  Come out for a cup of good coffee and some wonderful art.
