Blair is a versatile photographer who notes, "I am entering my fourth life. First, a successful photojournalist in Africa and Asia, then for 10 years I devoted my time to corporate and editorial photography based in Harrisburg, PA. In the 90's I became an avid stock and book photographer and, in 2000, I opened a gallery, plunging into art photography鈥攎y fourth love and life." Blair is currently a member of Art Plus Gallery.
Blair was awarded a fellowship grant from the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts and a silver medal in New York's International Film and TV Festival for text and photographs about four Kenyan ethnic groups. The World Exhibition of Photography and the Museum of Natural History, New York, have exhibited his photographs.

Blair would like to dedicate this photographic show to Dr. James Merryman, his close friend for 43 years鈥攕ince working with him in Kenya in 1972, when he was assigned to photograph the agricultural settlement project for the Somali people of NE Kenya, who had lost all to drought. With Jim's management and fluent Swahili communications, the project flourished. Then and since then, he and his wife, Nancy, have been inspirations to Blair to excel in his photography as well as in a life of compassion.
