Photo by Russ Gilbert Throughout December, Russ Gilbert, program coordinator for NAU’s School of Communication, will be exhibiting photographic images that document some of the last manned lighthouse stations around the world. The images show the life, work and families of light keeping at some of the most famous, remote and romantic locations before the stations were automated in the 1990’s. The exhibition can be viewed at Will McNabb’s Fine Jewelry Store located at 18 N. Leroux St. in downtown Flagstaff.
