Art Exhibit – The Colors Around Us – photographs by James H. Burrill

Artist’s Statement If you stop and take the time to look around, you will see some amazingly beautiful things.  Every once in the while, I am lucky enough to both have my camera with me and capture the image.  Sometimes, mostly with flowers, I try to make the beauty shout out by eliminating extraneous background.  While I have always had an interest in photography, the images in this exhibit range from 1978 when I bought my first serious camera to the present day where the magic of the digital world allows me to present just the part of the image that I want. -James H. Burrill
