“Life as It Happens” Now Open at Worcester Center for Crafts

An exhibit and sale of photography, by Scott Erb and Uday Khambadkone, has opened at the Worcester Center for Crafts’ Krikorian Gallery and is on view from July 19 through Sept. 7.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM. 

The photographs in Life as it Happens represent the observations of two photographers capturing street scenes from very different points of view. Uday’s images are colorfully vibrant and complex in their content, while by contrast, Scott’s black and white images sharply reflect a keen sense of “lines and light, [which play] an integral part in his images.”

“We are very excited about this show,” says Candace Casey, the Krikorian Gallery director. “Studying Scott and Uday’s photos, their excitement and their clear technical capabilities are evident. The viewer is left with an incredible sense of watching a story unfold and of being there just at the right time.”
