<br>
You might have thought you entered a time warp as you walked through the doors of Maryland Art Place for its "LUX" Gala. Many guests got into the "old Hollywood glamor" theme in their outfits.<br>
<br>
But the crowd's focus was on a star very much of the current era. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis -- event honorary co-chair with fiancee Juliana Childress. Lewis, an avid amateur photographer, also had five of his own pieces featured in the evening's exhibition.<br>
<br>
"We went through 800 to 1,000 photos to find the right ones," said Childress. "It's nice to hear the other photographers compliment his work."<br>
<br>
"It's fascinating seeing another aspect of Ray Lewis other than on the football field," said Lionell Sewell, Towson University geographic information scientist.<br>
<br>
"[Meeting] Ray, I never would've thought it would be in an art gallery. It's cool," said Chris Shifflett, GableSigns team leader.<br>
