Impressions of Cuba by Peter A. Burg will be on exhibit at the University of Central Florida Library on the main campus from October 1 to October 30.
Peter A. Burg, award winning Master of Photography (M.Photog., Cr., CPP) is a photographic artist. His recent trip to Cuba is documented in this exhibit
showing the colorful contrasts of Cuban life, architecture, and landscapes. Peter has had a life-long love of travel.
Born in Karloy Vary, Czechoslovakia, Peter and his parents fled the country in 1948 just after the Russian invasion, moving first to England and then to the United States. He has traveled to Okinawa, Japan with the military and extensively throughout the US, Canada, British Isles, China, Tibet and Italy. Pete’s love of photography began in 1968 as a work study scholarship student at Rider University where he was the yearbook photography editor. In the 1970’s, he began his professional photographic career with an early specialty in portrait and wedding photography. He began concentrating on commercial and architectural photography as well as travel, scenic and panoramic photography in the 1980’s. He is sought after as a lecturer, teacher, mentor and judge by other photographers.
