Photographer Joe Hermosa with piece from Attraction to Light showing shrimp boats off our unspoiled south Texas coast. This is an historic first art show at the University of Texas at Rio Grand Valley - Brownsville campus art exhibit.
I think his biggest fans are photographers who showed up early

Eye for Color
Exhibit Showcases Brownsville Photographer
Photographer Joe Hermosa said prior to meeting his dear friend and first mentor, Tony Bosch, he didn’t even know what a camera was.
If it weren’t for Bosch, who recently passed away, Hermosa would never have discovered his love of photography.
“It was sad,” he said, recalling Bosch and tearing up a little.
Bosch and his other former mentor, D.A. Crossley, were huge influences in Hermosa’s life.
Now, Hermosa will be featuring 29 photographs in an exhibit called “Attraction to Light” at the Rusteberg Art Gallery at Texas Southmost College. It will be the first University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Brownsville campus art exhibit.
Hermosa was a former photographer for The Brownsville Herald from 1978 to 2002 and a photo editor for the Valley Morning Star after that until 2011, when he retired.
“I was really honored, because of all the people they could’ve chosen, they picked me,” Hermosa said, referring to the exhibit.
The exhibit opens Tuesday and a reception will be held from 6-8 p.m. that day. The exhibit will stay open through Oct. 2.
