CLEARWATER - The excitement of the Tampa Bay Lightning's progress through the seven-game 2004 Stanley Cup Finals returns to the Tampa Bay area with Focused Passion: The Pursuit of the 2004 Stanley Cup. A photography exhibition courtesy of Louis Buccino, Director of External Affairs at Citigroup, is currently on display at the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Lightning team photographer, Scott Audette, was granted the unprecedented access that allowed him to capture the behind-the-scenes moments leading to the team's successful quest of the Stanley Cup, the NHL's highest honor. With his photographs, Audette gives Lightning fans an insider's view of the team's off-ice life, team meetings and pre-game preparation to stitches by team doctors during intermissions in the always off-limits trainers' room.
The exhibition is co-sponsored by the City of Clearwater's Cultural Affairs Division and the Clearwater Arts Foundation. Viewings of "Focused Passion" are by appointment only and can be arranged by calling (727) 461-0011 through June 6. The Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce is located at 1130 Cleveland Street. For more info about the photos or future displays, contact Louis Boccino, (813) 604-3688.
