The Eastern Maine Camera Club is pleased to announce that John and Cynthia Orcutt will be sharing their work with us this Thursday November 2nd. They have strong ties to Maine, and have published a book "The High Peaks of Maine". What follows is their biography:
John and Cynthia Orcutt are fine-art nature
photographers and avid outdoor enthusiasts.
Following distinguished careers as an architect
and landscape architect team, they have pursued
their interest in highlighting the need for
active preservation of fragile places. Through
their photographic images, they express the
inherent beauty of areas endangered by public
access and frequent visitation. Their work is
a call for us all to take a role in the stewardship
of our natural heritage and to participate in
ongoing conservation efforts in our daily lives.
John and Cynthia’s work has been exhibited
widely and appears in many public and private
collections. John is a past member of the
board of directors of Maine Huts & Trails and
the Wolfe’s Neck Farm Foundation. Cynthia
is a commissioner on the Maine Arts Commission,
a member of the BikeMaine Steering
Committee, and a director of the High Peaks
Cultural Coalition. She is a trustee emeritus of
Waynflete School. They live in Kingfield and
Portland, Maine.
We'd be very happy to see you at this meeting!
The meeting starts at 6:30. Please get to the Bangor Rec. Department by 6:15 or 6:20 so we won't have anyone shuffling in after the meeting starts!
Thank you!
Regards,
Don Darling
