The Tompkins County Public Library announces the second exhibit in its "The Art Behind the Scientist" series, "Still Lifeâ€"Portraits" by Richard Robinson.
Opening Saturday, May 8, the exhibit includes photographs taken using a manual film camera, without a flash, which he must wind for each shot. Fascinated by the Buddhist philosophy of focusing on the here and now, Robinson strives to freeze on film the moment when his subjects are truly absorbed in the present moment and to capture something deeper about the person than they want to show.
Robinson, an assistant professor in Cornell University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, will discuss his approach to photography and explain how his hobby intersects with his career in nanoscience during an opening reception from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 22, in the BorgWarner Community Room at the Library, 101 E. Green St.
This exhibit is made possible in part by the Brooks Family Foundation through their support of the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation.
