Mother Nature's Artistry 28x18 digital photography art by Carol Randall
Artist Statement – Carol Randall
As a child I always had a camera in my hands taking pictures of either our dogs (German Shepherds) or of members of our equine family (ponies and Standardbreds). Once I entered the workforce I took a photography course from the local YMCA and developed a love for scenic photography. While living in Montréal I joined the Montréal Camera Club. Here I improved my ‘eye’ for the ‘perfect’ shot from the weekly critique, and at the end of my eight years stay in the big city, I was asked to judge several competitions.
As a result of Polio as a young child I have been unable to handle heavy and/or complicated photography equipment, so compared to today’s cameras basically a ‘point and shoot’ has been my tool. I believe you can have the best equipment money can buy, but if you don’t have an ‘eye’ for photography, then your chances of having a ‘winner’ are limited.
Today with my camera tucked in the basket of my electric scooter, I try not to miss an opportunity to capture that perfect shot in Fredericton, with its many heritage buildings and over 85km of walking trails along both sides of the St. John River.
