Tom Martinez’s Photo Show Opening Tonight

You’ve seen Tom Martinez’s photos on OTBKB. Now you can see, Beneath the Surface, his photo exhibition at the Old Stone House, which opens TONIGHT from 7-9 PM. The show will run through March 1.

There will be music and refreshments at the opening plus a special slide show by Tom.

In his dual career as a minister and photographer, Martinez is drawn to images that reflect the interfaith diversity of New York City and its unexpected natural habitats, In 2003 Martinez became minister of All Souls Bethlehem Church in Brooklyn’s Kensington neighborhood. He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 2000 and subsequently completed a three-year stint at Christ Church in Summit, NJ. With the Christian Peacemaker Teams, he spent two weeks in Baghdad in an effort to promote a human connection with the Iraqi people and alternatives to war. He is the author of the book, “Confessions of a Seminarian: Searching for Soul in the Shadow of Empire.” His photographs have been published in the Staten Island Advance, the Brooklyn Paper and, of course, on OTBKB. You can see more of his photography at Tom Martinez Witness Photography.
