Meet Steve Forbert, Renaissance mankind Phones.

Photos charmed with a stall phone aren't customarily destined for a gallery. But when the musician Steve Forbert fagged out day snapping shots of garden-variety things with his phone, he came up with images estimable of a second look. "Highway Of Sight," a whip-round of Forbert's snapshots, will be on position through April 3 at Art629 Gallery, 629 Cookman Ave., Asbury Park.



The offer is or on of Asbury Park's Musical Heritage Year celebration, in conjunction with "New Harmonies," the Smithsonian's traveling expose about American roots music, which opened March 12 at the Asbury Park Public Library. An vernissage coalition for "Highway Of Sight" is scheduled for 8 to 10 p.m. March 19. Forbert will be in attendance.






Forbert is a singer-songwriter from Mississippi best known for his 1980 hit "Romeo's Tune," later covered by Keith Urban. The photos on brandish were infatuated on the method between gigs. He worn an mediocre LG chamber phone made in 2005. "I've tried some of the newer, higher deliberation phones, and to me, the results are less interesting," Forbert wrote in his artist's assertion for the exhibit.



"A suitable camera is out of the question. I don't feeling adulate there's anything I can combine to the standard, accepted expertise of interesting skill photography. What I'm attracted to are astute colors, repetition, symmetry, a touch of glaring irony and the guilelessly absurd." For more information, right Pat Schiavino at Art629 at 732-988-5111 or go to.
