An Exhibition of Nature Photography by Bob Fleck, N.H. Author and Photographer
“In all things of Nature, there is something of the marvelous.” – Aristotle
Photo one: Ruby-throated Hummingbird by Bob Fleck; Photo two: Pink Lady’s Slippers by Bob Fleck.
The selections of photography in this exhibition portray the artist’s interpretation of Aristotle’s ancient words. Curated from images photographed by Bob Fleck – Author and Photographer over the past decade, the overarching theme of the exhibit is “finding the marvelous” available to us in the natural world and bringing it into focus via photography. We need not travel beyond New Hampshire and New England to be in awe.
As you ponder the images presented, 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 collection 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.”
