Montana State University student Kevin Connolly, who has an unusual viewpoint of the world because he was born without legs, will share a collection of his photographs taken throughout the world and speak about his adventures at a multimedia presentation to be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, at MSU's Strand Union Ballrooms.
"The Rolling Exhibition," the name for Connolly's collection of photographs, is sponsored by ASMSU and is free and open to the public.
Connolly, a senior honor student from Helena majoring in media and theatre arts, is an X-Games medalist, an extreme skier and a gifted photographer who has traveled the world twice over, taking photos from a perspective few see. His images, shot from a camera at skateboard level, capture people in all walks of life as they notice Connolly for the first time.
"People are curious," says Connolly, who said that people world-over seem to invent stories about how a legless skateboarder with a camera has come into their world.
Last summer, funded by his winnings as a silver medalist in X Games' skiing competition as well as a grant from MSU, Connolly bought a round-trip airline ticket that took him from Los Angeles to New Zealand, the Pacific Rim, Asia and throughout Europe. It was Connolly's second around-the-world trip in as many years. In the last two years, Connolly shot thousands of digital images, which he has refined into his "Rolling Exhibition."
Connolly, his photos and his journey, will be featured in a story in MSU's Mountains and Minds magazine to be published in November.
