Welcome to the Camp Wood Public Library
April artist of the month
Pat Rogers
Pat said she started taking photographs in her teens with a Brownie Box camera. “Before we had colored photographs. I have pictures of my husband and friends when we were in high school. I continued to chronicle photos from that time on, as we had our children, and at our family gatherings and birthdays, much to everyone’s frustration. Of course, now they are all glad to have the old photos which I made multiple copies of and handed out at our next gathering. When we retired to Montell twenty years ago is when I really became aware of background and the composition of my subjects. The digital cameras opened up huge options. I could take a hundred pictures and only keep one or none. One of my favorite things to capture are things in motion and people when they aren’t aware that I am taking their picture, especially children. I hope you enjoy these photographs of birds.”
