Kaolian Photography Exhibit Displayed at City Gallery

It was a very cold night in the city, but the 50 or so attending the public reception Jan. 22 at Bridgeport's "City Lights Gallery" agreed that the photographs on display were pretty "cool."

On display were Stratford resident Morgan Kaolian's aerial photographs of Bridgeport city landmarks taken in the early evening and at night.

The scenes contrasted from the very colorful to downright stunning and include everything from the electric power plant at Bridgeport Harbor to the bright nighttime lights at the Harbor Yard baseball stadium.

Kaolian is a long-time local pilot and self-taught photographer who has parlayed his hobby of flying into several businesses, among them as a former traffic announcer on local AM radio, photographing development and construction sites from above and offering sky rides to the public.

The Kaolian photography display is the first exhibit of the season at the City Lights Gallery.
