CARRABASSETT VALLEY — The Carrabassett Valley Public Library & Community Center recently announced a new photography exhibit, by local photographer Sue Murphy, during the months of January and February.
A wine and cheese reception will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, to welcome the exhibit.
Murphy says she has “dabbled in photography” since she was a teenager, but her interest was piqued by an older brother who was always popping around a corner with his camera to catch a candid shot. “He had an in-home dark room where he developed black and whites, and though I was never involved in the chemical processes, I remember the smells of developing, and was always intrigued by how you could capture a moment in time and slowly see it come to life.,” Murphy recalled. “A photo, to me, takes what might otherwise be an ordinary moment destined to be lost amongst life’s millions of memories, and ‘seals’ it forever as something to be remembered.”
From novice to experienced photographer, Murphy still thinks of herself as “an experienced beginner,” keeping in mind light composition, interesting details and how she can always take a better photo. She most enjoys photographing people
The public is invited to attend, meet the artist and enjoy her photos. The exhibit will be on view at the library, 3209 Carrabassett Drive, #3, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 3 p.m.
