An exhibition of my photos was shown at Southbury Public Library from June 1 through June 28, 2016. Some of you might be familiar with my industrial landscapes; in contrast, this show focuses on the natural environment.
Over the past couple of years, I have returned repeatedly to Janie Pierce Park, a land preserve in Southbury, CT. The park is not only small in scale, but it is also modest in its features. There are no dramatic rock formations or spectacular waterfalls to be observed there; in fact, it is not a particularly remarkable place. Rather, it is typical of the commonplace beauty all-too-often taken for granted in our lush Connecticut landscape. I have found in its solitude an accessible connection to nature, to which I have tried to pay tribute in my photographs.
