Visit the library anytime to our Art Show of the Month- Photo X3.
The Photo X3 exhibit will feature the work of three area photographers- Joseph DiCara, Lorraine Nelson, and John Kingston. These three different photographers will present a wide range of subjects and techniques. Each of them brings a unique perspective to life through their art. There is much to enjoy.
Joseph DiCara
I received my Masters Degree in Architecture from Virginia Tech in 1977, got married to my wife Eileen and moved to Northern New Jersey. Since then my business partner and I built a successful Architectural firm, creating award winning buildings and memorable environments.
I share my passion for Architecture equally with photography. Always fascinated how a single captured second in time can convey such strong feelings. The use of texture, light, scale, proportion and surprise are necessary in creating both memorable photography and enduring architecture.
I hope that some of my “captured moments” in time, selected for this
exhibit, evoke some deep feelings for you as well.
Lorraine Nelson
After leaving the work world behind, photography has become a passion. My earlier years were preoccupied with other artistic pursuits.
At Montclair State University, I continued training as a figure skater and dancer while pursuing degrees in Speech Arts and Speech Sciences. Upon graduation I taught figure skating and ran skating schools in the NY Metropolitan area, alongside my husband. Following several decades in the skating world, I transitioned to the corporate world as an Instructional Designer and Computer Software Trainer, working on special projects for major corporations.
I’m an eclectic photographer drawn to nature, water, and action. Most of my photos in this exhibit were shot in the tri-state area.
John Kingston
I ’ve been involved in artistic activities all my life. From the earliest memories as a child, right up to today at age 75- the need to explore and express myself is stronger than ever.
After attending art and photography school in Boston in the early 70s, I moved to New York in 1979. My career began at Russ Berrie & Co. designing toys and gifts, a short time in advertising, then retiring in 2012 from Pearson Education where I designed high school textbooks.
My photography began using 4X5 and 35mm film, today I use mirror-less digital cameras. After retirement, I rediscovered my love of photography. Now I spend my time traveling around looking for interesting and inspirational subjects to shoot.
