ON THE COVER:

FLOYDS KNOBS — The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Kentucky-Southeast Indiana Chapter will host its sixth annual fundraising event, Crystal Boots & Silver Spurs Gala, on Satur-day, Sept. 26, in Floyds Knobs. This event allows the opportunity to mingle with other guests and enjoy specialty cocktails and food stations, all while supporting the National MS Society, according to a news release.

The event will take place at the home of multiple sclerosis advocate Jeannie Unruh overlooking the Louis-ville skyline. With a more casual dress

of “country cocktail attire” rather than black-tie required, the event will begin with cocktails and a silent auction, to be followed by a sit-down dinner, live auction, raffle, and music by V-Groove.

“We’d like to thank our generous community for their support and invite everyone to join us for a great country time,” Unruh said. “We thank you for your past support and look forward to hosting this event once again as we continue to party for a purpose to end the devastating effects of MS.”

WAVE 3 NEWS’ chief meteo-rologist Kevin Harned will welcome

guests before dinner is served and Miss Kentucky 2014, Ramsey Carpenter, will engage guests with her special green fiddle.

“In its sixth year, Crystal Boots & Silver Spurs continues to be one of the most sought after fall gala’s in our community,” said Stacy Funk, MS chapter president. “Always a sellout, it offers a one of a kind experience for our guests while raising much needed funds to further the MS mission. We remain grateful to the Unruh family for opening their hearts and their home for this amazing event.”

Photography is an art form. Every day as a newspaper editor I’m

amazed at the images produced by the News and Tribune’s photojournalists Tyler Stew-art and Christopher Fryer. With the technology around today anyone can pick up a smartphone and take a photo.

Few make art.In today’s centerpiece you’ll see images from

David Modica and Fryer, whose “Disparate Paths” exhibit at Brick Street Art Studios in New Albany is part of the 2015 Louisville Photo Biennial, an event featuring 60-plus photography exhibitions span-ning traditional to contemporary, local to global work and mounted at museums, galleries, universities, and cultural institutions in Louisville and Southern Indiana.

“Disparate Paths” offers snapshots of Americana beautifully captured by the two photographers. Today’s centerpiece also offers a rare glimpse into the relationship

between a photojournalist and his subject, and the impact a newspaper story has on the community.

People often forget that the newspaper plays a vital role in the lives of its readers. We’re with you virtually every day. We’re one of you, living and working alongside you.

The 2015 Louisville Photo Biennial will be staged at several places in Southern Indiana, the locations of which you’ll find inside these pages. That’s a big deal and shows the impor-tance of SoIn on the regional arts scene.

Newspapers are often called the “daily miracle,” given all the work it takes — and everything coming together perfectly — on a daily basis.

Without photographs, it would be one bland miracle.

LOUISVILLE — My Morn-ing Jacket drummer Patrick Hal-lahan, high-stakes lawyer Jon Salomon and award-winning chef Bobby Benjamin will open new restaurant Butchertown Grocery this November in Louisville, according to a news release.

Friends Salomon and Hal-lahan have traveled exten-sively in their careers, whether it’s arranging state visits for President Clinton or headlining major concert venues, and look to bring a world-class dining destination home to the buzzing Butchertown neighborhood. By recruiting Benjamin to helm the kitchen, and assembling a dynamic team that includes ac-claimed beverage director Marie Zahn, chef de cuisine Tina Dyer and assistant general manager Derric Perkins, they launch their

vision for a neighborhood venue with an extraordinary food and beverage program, matched by unparallelled hospitality.

Located at 1076 E. Wash-ington St. in the heart of the historic Butchertown neighbor-hood, the ambitious bar and restaurant will focus on season-ality, sourcing and technique to offer refined but approachable fare. An urbane cocktail bar and performance space upstairs will offer late-night bites, finely-crafted drinks and endless pos-sibilities for impromptu music and art.

Butchertown Grocery is currently hiring the rest of its staff including chefs, servers, bartenders and hosts/hostesses. To apply, email jobs@butcher-towngrocery.com with a resume and cover letter.

participation by asking Modica and Fryer if they would be interested

in having a show of their work at Brick Street.

An idea was born.

Although Modica spent 15 years as a commercial photographer,

his personal work is shot in black and white film and still processed in a traditional darkroom. Fryer publishes dozens of digital images

for the newspaper every week, yet his personal work also involves

capturing images with a film camera.Both photographers enjoy the art of the roadtrip and always

carry their camera with them. They capture spontaneous shots as

they move around and yet both prefer the art of pre-visualization

and taking the time to capture a specific moment rather than tak-

ing hundreds of shots and then editing to find the “perfect” shot. In that way they follow in the footsteps of Henri Cartier-Bresson

who believed that “The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera,” and that it is the photographer’s job to capture the “decisive moment.”

The exhibit runs through Nov. 25 at Brick Street Art Studios,

428 E. Sixth St., New Albany.
