TQ30 Visual Artists


Photography as Meditation    

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”

– T.S. Eliot

These three photographers in TQ30 will take you on a journey and show you things you may have missed, for they’ve captured our world in brand new ways. Naturalist and paddler Jacqueline Donnelly travels woods and waterways regularly and keeps a blog dedicated to documenting her travels. You will see much and learn much and be richly rewarded by tagging along with her. Writer Nina Shengold has walked the Hudson Valley and published a book of days about her passage. She continues to document the beauty of the world around her through her stunning photographs. Joseph Deuel calls photography a “labor of love.” See how he marries traditional and contemporary practices in meditative ways.
