“In all things of Nature, there is something of the marvelous.” ~ Aristotle

The selection of photographic images to be presented in this lecture portray the artist’s interpretation of Aristotle’s ancient words. Curated from photographs taken by Bob Fleck over the past decade, the overarching theme of the lecture is “finding the marvelous” available to us to witness in the natural world and bringing it into focus via photography and patience (plus a little luck!). We need not travel beyond New Hampshire and New England to be in awe.

As we ponder the images presented, we will search for the details, the “marvelous”, the overall beauty that abounds in nature. Many instances presented by the photographer were but a moment in time, yet a memory forever. The presentation represents such a small fraction of what is discoverable, if we only take the time to look and see (and sometimes lucky enough to capture) “something of the marvelous”. Bob will also discuss some of his equipment and how some of the images were captured. Questions are encouraged throughout the session.

Many of the images from his book, “Seasons At A New England Bog – A Photographic Essay”, as well as many other examples of the “marvels” of nature will be shared during the lecture/discussion.

A musical montage of pages from the book will start shortly prior to the main presentation as people are arriving. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and inscribing by Bob.
