Fredric Roberts '61, Photographer and former chair of NASD and NASDAQ |
 |
|
 |
|
|
- Will present his exhibit "Humanitas," a collection of photographs of the people of Asia, at the Peter Fetterman Gallery, Santa Monica from February 26 to April 9, 2005. He also has published a book of the same name, Humanitas (Hylas Publishing).
- For the past four years, he has photographed South Asians in some of the areas recently ravaged by the tsunami. While the creation of these photographs preceded this disaster, it is nonetheless a tribute to these people and is coincidentally being released as the world deals with this tragedy.
- His inspiration: As an investment banker, and former Chairman of the NASD and NASDAQ, Fred encountered many wealthy people who seemed spiritually bereft. Several years ago, in a dramatic life change, he left his comfortable world to embrace a life surrounded by individuals who had no concept of wealth in terms of worldly goods, and he found a different richness and dignity. He traveled to places where there were no phones, television sets or even plumbing. In many cases he even had to bring his own food as there would not be enough to feed one more mouth. Over the years he made a life changing recognition: Wealth comes from inside.
