Concordia grad and photographer, the late Jack Goldsmith, BA 82, captured moments in time with the tool of his trade — a camera.

He was preparing an exhibition of portraits — faces from all walks of life, taken from his worldly travels — when he passed away after a hard-fought illness.

Friends and colleagues have rallied to complete the photo exhibition Goldsmith began.

“He had started to organize this exhibition last year as a retirement project,” says friend John Childs, also a colleague at McGill, where Goldsmith worked as a photographer since 1976.

Completing the project was a means to pay tribute to Goldsmith, who studied anthropology at Concordia. 

“Along with his close colleagues, I have taken the initiative to see his photo exhibition come true,” 
says Childs. 

That exhibition is called Faces and Places: Tribute to Jack Goldsmith.

In addition to Goldsmith’s portraits, the project features photos of architectural landscapes provided by his friends.

The works can be viewed as of June 5 at McGill’s Macdonald Harrington Building, Room 114 (815 Sherbrooke Street W.), Montreal.
