Look Up!



NEXT SLIDE-TALK

“Beyond Brass Valley"

June 23, 1 PM, Winsted Community Bookstore
414 Main Street, Winsted


NOTE: This talk is part of a larger weekend program. I will be sharing Saturday with my friend, author, Virginia Shultz-Charette. She will speak at 11 AM and I will speak at 1 PM. Both of us will be offering new programs looking beyond our published books. My talk was originally developed for photographic clubs. See weekend details below.



PHOTOGRAPHER’S JOURNAL: “When people visit Winsted I always tell them ‘Look up.’” Those were the words of my friend Virginia Schultz-Charette at seeing a photo taken through these windows. She’s right, turrets, towers, decorative cornices, cupolas and gables parade along Main Street and dance up the steep hillsides invisible to those who hurry.

The town’s architecture is even more magical from several stories up, and the same is true in other Valley towns. I’m seeking locations for a series tentatively titled “Windows Across the Valley.” The key is that each shot must contain an interior and exterior world, as in the photo above. If you have suggestions, please help. The subject need NOT be industrial or abandoned. All suggestions, leads or contacts are appreciated and will be explored.
