Visual Viewpoints

BY Arlene Harder, MFT

Photographs always show different "viewpoints," based on where the photographer was standing and the subject he or she chose. And that's why you can tell something about a person by the pictures he or she takes. Don't know what, exactly, my pictures say about me, but they offer you a glimpse into the kinds of things I am interested in capturing on film (well, on tiny digital memory cards anyway).

If you'd like, you can submit photos for any of the categories I've chosen to display so far. Or you can suggest a new visual viewpoint category.

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I tend to put too many projects on my plate at one time. So I've had to pare down these pictures and, rather than give you a whole group of four pictures each time I do a newsletter, offer a single picture.

Most of those I will present here are ones I have, or plan to, hang in my office and other rooms in my house. They'll give you an idea of what I like and what visual viewpoints I choose to emphasize.
