A gorgeous display of professional photography is displayed in the second floor of the Holy Spirit library. Len Seeve’s exhibit displayed in helping our school to celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.
Len Seeve, a semi-retired psychiatrist, is a member of the Pioneer Valley Photographic Artists. He currently resides in Amherst, Massachusetts. His artwork is seen all over the country ever since he won first prize in the Valley Portfolio 2001 Photography Exhibit. Cabrini College has been fortunate enough to be a place where his exhibit is being displayed.
In Seeve’s artist statement posted in the exhibit, it reads, “Photography has always fascinated me. On the one hand, it is the visual medium that can most closely mirror reality – a photograph is created not with paint or clay, but with the same light that enters the human eye and becomes an image in the mind.”
A fellow photographer visited the exhibit and admired Seeve’s work. Bruce Feldman, an amateur photographer had heard of the exhibit and came to see it with a friend. While walking around, he admired and talked about the different subjects that were being photographed.
“He’s opened my eyes to something I would just walk by as an amateur photographer,” Feldman said of Seeve. “He has given me more vision and taken pictures of things we would never think to.”
Seeve’s display of photographs ranges from a variety of different subjects. He has photographs of birds, nature, bridges, people and buildings. He even has a picture with a street pipe in front of a wall. These pictures were not just taken in the United States; they were taken all over the world.
Seeve states further in his mission statement, “The subjects I choose are widely varied- buildings and bridges often emphasize a certain stark geometric structure; nature scenery can serve as a foundation for experimentation with color and focus.”
Anyone can go and experience Len Seeve’s artistic display of photographs for themselves. The exhibit is open to the school and to the public until Dec. 16 in the library.
