Journalism professor emeritus Mark Larson’s photography exhibit, “60 and Older….Working Out” will be on display at HealthSport in Arcata throughout April. Portraits of people aged 60 and older exercising represent the first phase of a project Larson hopes to expand into an in-depth photo essay.
“As a Baby Boomer myself now at age 66, I’ve been inspired by and enjoyed interacting with many 60-and-older persons working out at HealthSPORT over the past 15 years,” Larson said. “Listening to their stories has led me to want to explore common issues and experiences related to aging.”
Larson taught a variety of classes, including photojournalism, at HSU from 1975-2013. He also served a stint as chair of the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication.
“I plan to photograph more persons at different times of the day doing different activities at a variety of venues,” he said. “I also plan to begin collecting stories from members of the “Silver Tsunami” about why they work out.”
