Viewfinder: Haying the North Field at Tulmeadow Farm

Viewfinder is a new weekly feature that will highlight photography by Simsbury's amateur and professional photographers. With the help of the Simsbury Camera Club, which will choose the weekly photograph, we hope to explore Simsbury's creative side.

This week's photograph was taken by Dick Clark.

About the Photograph

The photograph was taken in Tulmeadow Farm's north field.  I was wandering around looking for an interesting subject when the tractor appeared and started to work the field.  I kept the tractor small in the frame to give a sense of proportion.

About the Photographer

We moved to Simsbury from Denver in 1996 with a job transfer, and I retired in 2004. I have had an interest in photography since childhood and became a member of Simsbury Camera Club in 2004.  Helping others improve their photography is a key motivator for me.  We're active in the Simsbury Land Trust, and enjoy getting outdoors and traveling.

The Simsbury Camera Club is a local group of professional and non-professional photography enthusiasts. Founded in 1955 the club is interested in "enhancing the photographic skills" of members, according to their website.

New members are encouraged to attend meetings on the first Tuesday of every month at the Simsbury Public Library at 7 p.m. and on the third Wednesday of every month at Eno Memorial Hall at 7 p.m. Meeting dates are subject to change. Visit www.simsburycameraclub.com for updated information.
