Harrisonburg, VA
As a resident of the Shenandoah Valley for 40 years, Merv Webb has enjoyed pursuing and sharing his gift of photography. A self-taught photographer, he enjoys the pursuit of the unexpected photo. When a new hospital was built in the community a few years ago, over 40 photos of his works were selected to grace the walls of the hospital. The Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community also displays over 25 of his works in their hallways. Merv has been selected to display his work in 5 juried art shows held at the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. During those 5 years, two of his photos won awards of excellence. In earlier years, he exhibited at the local county fair where he won many ribbons and awards, including "Best in Show." Since retiring from his career as a fundraiser, Merv uses his camera skills to photograph the hands of hospice patients and their family members. As a volunteer for the local hospice program, he travels to the homes of the hospice patients to take the hands photos and then sends them a packet of photos, without cost, to the family because of gifts made to the hospice program.
