  Photography by Victor Covaleski
  There will be a reception at the Library on Saturday, May 12 at 1 p.m. and the public is invited.
  Victor Covaleski has lived most of his adult life in Williamsburg and Whately. With a combined degree in fine arts and life sciences as a springboard, he has continued to keep current in both fields and he uses this background to approach the photograph as a painter would, enhancing pixel by pixel to add depth and a strong sense in the viewer that they were there when the picture was taken. His pieces draw from his extensive travels; one moment the viewer is canoeing in the arctic, the next facing a storm at sea, the next following a mother and child down a street in Bermuda. But the local is not ignored, and by refocusing the viewer on what we have here it becomes as exotic as the distant worlds.

  A sample of his work.
