Phil Grout Photo Exhibit Opens at 'Off Track Art'
Award-winning photojournalist Phil Grout will kick off his exhibit "Child of the Universe" on May 4 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Off Track Art in Westminster.
Phil Grout may live in Carroll County but his photos tell stories of people from around the globe. These visual stories will be on display in an exhibit "Child of the Universe" at Off Track Art, 11 Liberty St. in Westminster starting May 4.
According to Grout's website, www.philgrout.com, he started to learn his craft as a photojournalist in 1966 covering naval operations in Vietnam. He quickly discovered it wasn't the images of war he was hunting, but more the face of humanity as he roamed the back alleys of Saigon, Hong Kong, Japan and the Philippines.
According to an article in Explore Carroll, the "Child of the Universe" exhibit is a collection of 40 black and white images that come from Grout's 45 years of documenting life in Americas, Africa, Asia and India.
