Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation - Photography as a Contemplative Practice

Maynard Ecology Center in the basement of Neville Place at Fresh Pond Reservation 650 Concord Ave, Cambridge MA

Is a photograph just a recording of what is in front of the photographer or is it a symbolic representation of what is inside a photographer? Photographer and educator Patricia Turner considers the question in a presentation that explores a unique approach to photographing the world around us. Where traditional photography focuses on subject and technique, contemplative photography makes the connection between meaning and personal experience the over-riding emphasis. This presentation will delve into visual listening, the contemplative eye, communing with the landscape, and exploring metaphors. Patricia will share her unique practice in this introductory presentation and will then return on Sunday, October 20th to lead a field excursion with cameras and field journals in hand. Registration is required; limited to 20 people. This is a Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation-sponsored event; please register with Elizabeth Wylde at friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com or call 617-349-6489 and leave your name and phone number. Important parking information will be given after registering.

Love Fresh Pond Reservation? Give back to our urban oasis: volunteer! The beauty and ecological health of our Reservation requires constant care! Invasive weeds, which threaten wildlife habitat and Fresh Pond’s forests, meadows and wetlands, are a top concern. Volunteer weeding events are ongoing throughout the fall. Beginners are welcome. Learn about local botany and ecology while helping the Reservation! Long sleeves and pants are recommended to prevent contact with poison ivy. Tecnu will be available. Temporary parking permits will be available for free for volunteers coming from out of town. Wednesday evening weeding sessions occur through September, meeting at the trailer in the Cambridge Water Department parking lot at 250 Fresh Pond Parkway.
