PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
“Contemplative Photography: Meditations in the Woods”
I am having a photography exhibition at the Levi Heywood Memorial Library, 55 West Lynde St., Gardner, MA. The exhibition will run from March 1st until March 29, 2024.
Artist's Statement:
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention
Be astonished
Tell about it
Mary Oliver “Sometimes”
Mary Oliver’s instructions above have become the guiding principles for my photography. Photography has gained importance in my life since it has become a spiritual practice. I try to spend time in nature on a regular basis. It is a time for meditation and a time to clear my thoughts. With a quiet mind I wait to see what calls to me, what “shimmers”. Then I try to capture the subject in a personal, intimate, and emotional way. I am not interested in simply documenting the world, but trying to reveal something essential about myself and the world around me.
If I have been successful, some of these images will touch you, make you feel something of the beauty, astonishment, and wonder I felt during the time I spent creating them.
Each image is accompanied by a Haiku poem, written to express in a few simple words the connection and feelings that I experienced at the time I made the photograph.
I hope you enjoy the time you spend with these images and their invitation to journey inward, enjoy some serenity, and see the world with fresh eyes.

Salem, Massachusetts
Does this picture show an apparition moving around a bush at the Gardner-Pingree House in Salem, Massachusetts. It is Captain White himself who was murdered there?

Gardner-Pingree House
128 Essex Street
Salem, MA 01970
This elegantly proportioned Federal-style house is one of Salem architect Samuel McIntire’s finest.
The grand Gardner-Pingree House (1804) was built for John Gardner, a wealthy Salem merchant and nephew of Elias Hasket “King” Derby, mentioned in the preface to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter.
This elegantly proportioned Federal-style house is one of Salem architect Samuel McIntire’s finest and best-preserved designs and is now a National Historic Landmark. With success at sea as well as a profitable wholesale business on the waterfront, Gardner became highly motivated to build a home to showcase his new wealth. He hired well-known architect and woodworker Samuel McIntire to design and build this massive, elegantly proportioned Federal-style townhouse in the heart of downtown Salem in an up-and coming neighborhood adjacent to Salem Common.
In the early 19th century, houses like this were among the most opulent homes in the country. A mansion like this was particularly active during the winter ball season. Typically an evening gathering in the double parlors would involve music, dining and dancing until sunrise.
