Thursday, February 15, 2024, the Photographic Society of Chattanooga will present Barry Spruce. Mr. Spruce ‘s love affair with photography began at the early age of 10, when he received his first camera, a 110 Kodak Instamatic, as a Christmas present. After graduating high school, he began his career in the automotive parts industry, and upgraded his camera to a film SLR. In 1990, Barry visited the Smoky Mountains, and moved there a few short months later. He made the change to digital photography in 2004 and began developing his portfolio. In 2007, Barry retired from the automotive parts industry, and begin his second career as a nature and wildlife photographer.  He teaches, runs workshops, gives presentations, has been published and has his own gallery, Cades Cove Gallery in Townsend, Tennessee.
