What Do You Really See?

What is life like in Point Roberts and the Roberts Creek area of the Sunshine Coast in B.C.? There are a lot of ways to approach this, and I use (mostly) words to try to write about it in this blog. One tends to get one’s own life deeply intermingled with Point Roberts’ life in such a presentation but I have come to realize that, at least for me, that’s inevitable.

In a very different way, Ed has taken to capturing his/Point Robert’s/Roberts Creek’s life visually. In his ‘Pick of the Week,’ he offers up a weekly sighting. You can see it here.

Carol Fuegi's current exhibit at The Blue Heron in Point Roberts (Gulf Road) is another place to see a set of gorgeous photographs--of the Pacific Northwest, in her case. For a small exhibit, the range is impressive. Some pieces are deeply dreamed; others exist in extraordinary realized detail. You'll have to get out of your house to see her work, but both these photographers are showing work that is well worth seeing, and especially if you want to practice your own skills at seeing: what do you see in what they see?
