A collection of black and white images titled "Lyrical Nature" by Jack Ahearn are on display at the Forest Society's Conservation Center in Concord until the end of October.
Jack Ahearn's photographs are lyrical expressions of the natural world that elicit emotional responses in the viewer including joy, sadness, and an elusive "otherness" perhaps rlated to Emerson's concept of the "Wise Silence." Jack uses landscape and still life as the basis for his images and crafts the print so that the final image creates a rewarding and pleasurable experience in the viewer.
