Art Exhibit - The Colors Around Us - photographs by James H. Burrill
2016-07-09 10:00 - 2016-08-05 13:00
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.
