Landscapes of the West are stars of new photo exhibit

Photographer Charlie Lieberman spent the last two years touring the American West to capture images that would best define the extraordinary landscape.

Now an exhibit of his work called "... as it is today" debuts at an opening reception 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 19 at Perfect Exposure Gallery at 3519 W. 6th Street in Los Angeles. The gallery will donate 10% of proceeds from photo sales to the Sierra Club.

The title comes from a quote by outdoors writer Edward Abbey who said: "Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today."

Lieberman, a director of photography for TV and independent films, started out as a still photographer. His love of natural locales caused him to shift his subject of interest from urban landscapes to natural ones.
