Photography by Rod Richardson
A selection of photographs exploring light, place, and quiet moments.
On view at the Center Moriches Free Public Library
"My work focuses on landscapes and scenes that invite stillness and reflection. I'm drawn to places that feel familiar yet slightly removed from time-where light, weather, and space do most of the talking.
This exhibit brings together photographs made over several years, each chosen for its quiet strength and sense of presence."
