Asian-American photographer hosts first photo exhibit.

Asian-American photographer Andy Chen will host his first Charlotte photo exhibit tonight at the Evergreen Studio in Uptown.

Chen will display 27 of his photos taken over three summer between 1985 and 1988. Chen, who co-owns a commercial photo studio, said the photos taken of lifeguards on the New Jersey shore represent “beauty and nostalgia.” “These pictures are from an eternal time,” he says. “A time when we were all young and we were going to live forever.” The one-night free exhibition, called Avalon, will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Brevard Court studio.
