In the Display Case: Sculptures and pastels by Patrick Calkins.

Retirement, that period in our lives when we plan to accomplish all of the things we have put off doing until we have the time. I have always had a passion for photography, so with my new found freedom, I decided to go back to school for digital imaging. A couple of years after completing my degree, I realized that I had not accomplished much of my "I can't wait to do all of this when I retire" list including not having touched my camera in several months. I decided to do 52 things, one a week for a year. The first was to take a picture a day for 365 days. Some days I took hundreds, others, when I realized the day was almost over, dinner became my muse. Each day I chose a photograph and this exhibit is a sampling. The project taught me to explore my environment, and not only to look at, but to really see, what surrounds me. Enjoy! I know I did.
