A Wright brothers-centered photography exhibit will be on display at the K12 Gallery & TEJAS in Dayton beginning Saturday, April 1.

The “Over Seventy Feet Of Photography” collection was created by Dayton artist Dan Cleary using images from his book “Wright Brothers: Then and Now” and from his series on city architecture.

Orville and Wilbur Wright documented their time in Ohio and North Carolina while conducting flight experiments and were photographed all over the world as they grew to international fame. Cleary visited the sites where the Wright brothers were photographed and took photos. Capturing his own images, Cleary overlaid the images to create the collection.

In addition to Dayton, the photos in the collection feature Kitty Hawk, North Carolina; Washington, D.C.; Detroit, LeMans, France; Pau, France; and New York City.

The exhibit, running through April 28, will also showcase Cleary’s fine art photography of city architecture of Dayton, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Nashville.

“Each city has its history,” Cleary said. “I try to tell the story of that history with my photographs.”
