'Through his eyes'

http://www.thetimesherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007702030321

Art can be an effective means of preserving history. Russell Sawyer used his cameras to do just that.
Born in Port Huron in 1907, Sawyer was an auto mechanic by trade. Photography, however, became his love.
As a freelance photographer, Sawyer's work appeared in Lookand Lifemagazines. The Times Herald, however, was a primary source. From 1938 to 1989, the year of his death, Sawyer's photos helped document the history of the Blue Water Area. The V-J Day celebrations in Port Huron that marked the end of World War II and the 1949 fire that destroyed Port Huron's City Hall are part of his work.
The Port Huron Museum Carnegie Center will honor his art. The exhibit, Through His Eyes: Russell Sawyer, Photographer, opens Sunday with a reception from 1 to 4 p.m. and continues through April 1.
The retrospective's diversity is unique. Sawyer, who was black, also photographed members of Port Huron's African-American community.
Through His Eyesis a rare opportunity to savor our community's history - especially as Port Huron celebrates its 150th birthday. The exhibit should not be missed.
