Photographer's Choice

The next Camera's Eye exhibition will be held over two weekends in October.

The opening reception will be on October 6 and the exhibit will be open from 12 noon to 5 PM over two weekends: October 6, 7, 8, 13, & 14. As in the past, the exhibit will be held at the Isaac Camp Farmstead on the Macricostas Preserve (just off route 202) of Steep Rock Association. The Camp Farmstead is at 124 Christian Street. Signs on route 202 will point the way. Prints and cards will be for sale. A portion of proceeds will go to the continuing restoration of the Camp Farmhouse.

The Camera’s Eye has always sought to honor the individualy of each
photographer’s distinct way of seeing. In this exhibit we asked each
photographer to select a subject that frequently grabs his/her lens.
Accordingly, Brad & Karin Smith will exhibit photographs of,
"Housatonic & Nearby Waters," Emery Roth’s photos capture,
"Reflection.," Peary Stafford exhibits photos from his study of
Butterflies, Martha Winkel will contrast, "Near & Far," and Melissa
Cherniske collects a set of photos under the title, "Doors, Windows,
& Chairs."

The Vanishing Farmstead

The Vanishing Farmstead - weekends of May 26th and June 2nd

The Camera's Eye, an association of exhibiting photographers based in Connecticut's Northwest Hills, is mounting their second exhibition, "The Vanishing Farmstead," at the historic, 1756, Isaac Camp Farmhouse on the Macricostas preserve of Steep Rock Association (Washington Land Trust).

The exhibition will be open from 12 P.M. to 5 P.M. over two weekends: May 26th, 27th, and 28th and June 2nd and 3rd. There will be an informal reception at the Isaac Camp Farmhouse at 12 P.M. on May 26th.

Inspired by the vanishing heritage of farming in Connecticut's Northwest Hills, founding members Melissa Cherniske, Emery Roth, Brad Smith, and Karin Smith will be joined by Charlie Taylor and other friends of Steep Rock association who have sought out old barns, fields and farm implements from throughout the region as the basis of a series of images that captures that heritage. Their photos will be displayed in the old Camp farmhouse, once the heart of an active farming operation and brickworks that stretched along Bee Brook and across Meeker Swamp.

The Isaac Camp House and the Macricostas Preserve are located at 124 Christian Street, Washington, Connecticut, off of Route 202. Signs on Rt. 202 will point the way.

Faces of Macricostas Meadow

The exhibition will be open from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M. over two weekends: October 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 and on October 12 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. There will be an informal reception at the Isaac Camp Farmhouse at 2 P.M. on October 7th. (The October 12 date will celebrate the opening of the Interpretive Walkway by the Washington Garden Club.)

Inspired by the joy of composing images at this remarkable preserve, the photographers hope to convey its many moods. Their photos will be displayed in and next to the house that has overlooked the property for more than 250 years. The quiet of the unrestored house is accompaniment to the lazy mood that often characterizes Macricostas Meadow. Both have something of eternity about them now, busy as they once were.
