Lynne M. Anstett – Photographer

     Artist Vision

 

I had my first camera at the age of eight.  Although I have taken thousands of pictures ever since, I’ve only recently begun to share my love of photography with a wider audience.

 

Whether I’m traveling far from my native New England, hiking locally, or standing in my own back yard, I’m drawn to the endless variety of beautiful things outdoors.

 

It is a hurried world.  Photography, to me, is a way of paying visual attention and tribute to what is otherwise often missed or taken for granted – the quiet dignity of buildings, the magnificence of sky, water and land, the mystery of old things, and the countless daily proofs in nature that the world is made for our eyes.

 

I aim to share what I see, by chance or by design, that is beautiful to me.  The camera allows me to do that.

Imagery Art Works, begun in 2011, actually grew out of my endeavor to write a book – poetry and photography.  The book titled Love Bound, The Journey was published in 2013 and took approximately 8 years to complete – a true labor of love.  

 

From time to time I can be found at a number of venues both in Litchfield Country CT & Berkshire County MA reading from my book.

 

I strive to use domestic product materials and support.
