Photography Exhibit Captures Talent of Local Doctors

The artistic works of two local doctors were the talk of Custom House Coffee early this week.

Dr. Frank Scheel, a retired physician from Fall River, MA, and Dr. Karl Zuzarte of Tiverton, RI, showed off their skills as photographers at this opening reception held Monday evening at the local coffee house. 

Scheel has been photographing objects since he was a teenager. His work features images captured throughout the world from Central Park in New York City to Peru, India and Ecuador.

The Fall River physician said he hopes people are inspired by his images.

"I hope they see things in a different way," Scheel said. "How special things can look when the sun is just beginning to set or snow is just starting to fall."

Zuzarte's photographs depict natural settings from canyons in Arizona to the birds of Plymouth, MA.

"I'm mostly a nature photographer," he said. "Frank introduced me to photography." For more information or to view Zuzarte's images, visit here.

The photographs of both artists are currently on display at Custom House Coffee in Portsmouth.
