ROCKPORT EYE CANDY…CMCA and Carver Hill
On Saturday I did some running around in the midcoast area and was rewarded with some really good photographs to look at.
At CMCA I caught the opening day of their new exhibit “An Other World” and enjoyed once again Jeffery Becton’s images. I always think I’m going to see the same thing just tweaked a bit when I see his work around, but I find each image fresh. (unlike Loretta Lux’s work of those large-headed kids – no more, please!!) There are six of Becton’s images hanging at CMCA, including two black and white – I haven’t seen his work in black and white before. Here are a couple on view to whet your appetites.
I really enjoyed studying his work. If you’re in the area, CMCA is worth a stop of course, and this time around, don’t miss the Becton works for some really pleasurable viewing. (www.cmcanow.org). And for a nice long treat, visit Becton’s own website to enjoy dozens of images in color and black and white.(www.jefferybecton.com)
Finally got to Carver Hill Gallery – wow. (www.carverhillgallery.com) This is a unique concept combining art and home décor and it works. Almost no fine art photography though and I hope that will change soon. But…three really great Cig Harvey’s – including this one 
were tucked up together under the eaves of the second floor showrooms and they should not be missed. I really loved them. Harvey was just profiled in Maine Home and Design (www.mainehomedesign.com) it was nice to see these little gems while my mind was on her work.
Well, two tiny pockets of photographs to seek out. There you have it. Did I miss anything else? Let me know…
