Ron Turner: Photographer
Duration: August 1 - Sept. 30, 2010 in the Denker Gallery
Approximately three-quarters of this exhibition are photographs taken during
the 1971-1972 time frame in the Republic of Vietnam. The images were recorded
by Ron Turner while a soldier with the United States Army. His assignments with
both the United States Army Vietnam and the Military Assistance Command Vietnam
involved considerable travel throughout the Republic of Vietnam from his base(s)
in the Saigon area.
 While the film was developed by Ron on a near real-time basis in his Vietnam
quarters, the prints were not made until recently. Both simple and complex reasons
account
for the long, long delay before the prints were made. The Vietnam photos are
mostly of the country and the people, rather than the war itself. The Vietnam
photographs were taken with both Canon and Bronica SLRs. Since Vietnam Ron has,
for the most part, used Leicas.
Prior to retirement from the United State Army, Ron, his wife, Ping, and their
three children resided in East Asia for somewhat over twelve years. In 1978 the
Turners moved to El Paso where, excepting for a year Ron spent in the Middle
East, they remained until 2001. After retirement from the United States Army,
Ron taught government and history courses in the El Paso public high schools.
Following his retirement from the Texas Education System in 2001, Ron and Ping
relocated to a rural location located between Azle and Weatherford, where they
now reside. It is here that the Vietnam photos, along with other photos, have
been finally printed, mounted, matted and framed.
All black and white prints have been made on 100% rag cotton paper using Jon Cone's archival carbon inks. Museum board is used for both mounts and mattes. When a black matte is used, a non-visible white museum board matte is used between the outer matte and the photograph.
Ron received his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and holds a master's degree in international relations from the Graduate School of the University of Texas at El Paso.

TIMELESS CONCERTS
September 18, 2010, Saturday
8:00 pm — An Evening in Mexico,
1911
($35,
$25 seniors 60+ and private party for 2 at $80 Arlington Museum of Art)
Timeless Concerts is unlike anything else in north Texas! Professional
musicians
perform
chamber music in
a relaxed atmosphere with warmth and
humor; classical to contemporary to international music, piano, strings,
and sometimes vocalists.
This concert series is produced by LeeAnne Chenoweth,
a
violinist with the Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra for 17 years. The
hour-long concerts are followed by a dessert, fruit and cheese buffet, and includes
live background music. Special requests are welcome and dancing if you
wish!
Instrumentalists: Violinist LeeAnne Chenoweth, pianist David Dubiel, and cellist
Jim Higgins
This concert will feature classical music of Mexico. Mexican classical composers,
such as Manuel Ponce, and Carlos Chavez are not as widely known as their European
counterparts, yet their music is every bit as beautiful, if not more. The concert
will open with the piano trio (violin/piano/cello) by Ponce, and piano solo works
by Chavez. The evening will also feature 17-year-old soprano, Sabrina Romero,
a serious, talented student of voice, having performed in the San Diego Opera
Company's Civic Theatre, the lead roles in Carroll Sr. High School's "White
Christmas" and "Sound
of Music," and is the recipient of the 2008-2009 CSHS Outstanding Musician
Chorale Award. This is a wonderful occasion for our audience to hear
classical music with a Mexican flavor! As always, our post-concert pianist will
be taking requests during the dessert reception.
