LEWISTON — The works of two photographers are on display at the Central Maine Medical Center Woman’s Hospital Association Rotating Art Gallery.

A collection of photographs by Tom Reichard of Auburn and Arlene McConnell of Topsham will be displayed at CMMC throughout September and may be purchased through the WHA Gift Shop, located adjacent to the Main Lobby. A percentage of sale proceeds benefit CMMC.

McConnell has assembled a collection of photographs called simply “My Favorites” for exhibition at CMMC. Her subjects range from landscapes and nature to animals and people. A self-taught photographer, she was recently accepted into the First Light Camera Club.

Reichard says his fascination with photography began in his childhood when his father developed black-and-white images in his darkened kitchen. He has worked with all formats — black-and-white, color prints, slides and digital imagery, including infrared and metallic images.

Reichard says his photographic work is inspired by “seeing something so unique, even in the mundane, and capturing that moment that will never happen in quite the same way again.”

His work has been shown at CMMC, L/A Arts’ Gallery 5, Arts & Ale at Gritty’s, University of Southern Maine Lewiston-Auburn College, the Auburn Art Club, Auburn Public Library and The Trustees of Reservations. Currently his work is for sale in the Bates College bookstore in Lewiston.

His work can be seen at www.as-eye-see-it.com.
