Reflections are all around us. From the catch light in the eyes of a child, mirrors, quiet waters, gemstones, puddles, hub caps, and window panes. Adding further interest to the theme is the understanding that reflection can also mean pondering or giving serious thought to a subject. Juror, Alyson Belcher selected 86 images from the more than 400 submitted from four states for this annual year-end call.

 

Exhibited in the Main and Step Up Galleries, the images vary widely in both execution and interpretation of the theme, making it a visually exciting exhibit experience. Upon Reflection closes out another year of outstanding photographic exhibits at Viewpoint. We hope you will stop by during the holiday season and enjoy all the creativity the exhibit offers.
