In the Gallery; The Farmington River Collection

     If Collinsville has become a destination, the Farmington River is no small part of that allure. 
 
     For the months on January and February, the Gallery at Canton Public Library features an exhibition by Tom Cameron, a photographer who has captured the Farmington River’s wild and scenic beauty and whose photography underscores the magic of this magnificent resource.
 
     Cameron has been fascinated with the outdoors and has spent much of his time on the water.  “I have always been at home in, on, and around the water—swimming, canoeing, fishing, and scuba diving,” he says.  “All of the photographs  in this show come directly from time on and around the Farmington River.”  He has captured the river in the light of early morning and as the light changes through the day.  “From wind-driven rapids and falls to the early morning mirrored flat-water, the variety of images that light generates on and in water is endless.”
 
     His lens has captured the plants and animals that inhabit the river’s ecosystem, from herons to spiders to the occasional fisherman.  Waterfalls, water reflections and the symmetrical images created are another interest for Cameron.
 
     Cameron is general manager at Ultimate NiTi Technologies in Briston, CT. His education includes mechanical engineering and materials science.  His photography education includes college level course work and multiple seminars including an extended course from master printer George DeWolfe.
 
     Library hours are Monday-Thursday 10:00-8:00, Friday and Saturday 10:00-5:00, and Sunday 1:00-4:00 PM.  For information:  (860) 693-5800 or www.cantonpubliclibrary.org
