In Greensburg

Cort Anderson’s photo, which was the inspiration for the 2007 state Christmas ornament, will be on sale this weekend at his show in Topeka to benefit the South Central Kansas Tornado Relief Organization. The photo was taken in the yard of Kathy and Tom Doherty after the deadly storm. Anderson is making a limited number of prints, primarily as gifts or to benefit Greensburg.

Our technology whiz, Cort Anderson, headed home shortly after lunch today. We missed his expertise shortly after he departed.

Cort has to get ready for an exhibit of his fine art photography at the Mulvane Mountain/Plains Art Fair this weekend at Washburn University in Topeka. The annual juried show features artists of all types from across the Midwest.

Cort also is responsible for organizing a show of news photographs, including some of his own, from the Greensburg tornado titled “Greensburg: After Nature’s EF-5.” The show, at Studio 2131 in Kansas City, Mo., through June, will be traveling to sites around the state later this summer. Look for it in the southwest part of the state.

The show features images from Kansas and Missouri news photographers who covered the aftermath of the tornado. There are numerous captivating images among the work being displayed.
