Artist Fred Price, of Moravia, has worn many different hats in his 86 years, but photography is a passion that has lasted his lifetime. A selection of his pictures are on display in a solo exhibit, “Reflections of a Photographer,” at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY. He chose that title because, in looking back at his work, he noticed that most of his pieces involved reflections in glass.
