Light Escapes Gravity

Star Flies Through Tree

Star Flies Through Tree

As the coronavirus takes over our lives, I feel the need for light to chase away the extreme seriousness of COVID-19. The gravity of the situation pulls on all of us. It threatens to take away the good times and an innate optimism that a future exists to hold the best for our family and community.

Against the backdrop of daily statistics and political stances on masks and reopening, I look for places that lighten my spirit and lift me beyond the dire circumstances of souls departing. Searching for meaning, I take a positive view in response to the virus. There falls light on the road ahead to help us escape these times.

Lingering Lens

As a new member of the Princeton Photography Club, I have the opportunity to give a presentation of some of my photo work. I am the first of three presenters on Thursday February 20 at 7:30pm.

The presentation is titled “Lingering Lens: Long Exposure as Cinematic Moment” and compiles a diverse selection of subject matter with the common thread that all are images taken with a long exposure. I will explore how a "decisive moment" presents in more ways than the usual split-second. The resulting images may suggest a story in the unfolding, a smidgen of cinema in a single frame.

The event is held at D & R Greenway Land Trust, 1 Preservation Pl, Princeton, NJ 08540.
