“A LENS ON THE SEASONS”: The upcoming exhibition of Frank Sauer’s photographs of The Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve show our town’s beauty in all four seasons. Pictured here is a photo by Sauer entitled “Dogwood.”

Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) is sponsoring an exhibit of photos taken in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve by long-time Princeton resident Frank Sauer. The exhibition, titled “Mountain Lakes: A Lens on the Seasons,” includes both color and black-and-white photographs and will be shown at the Arts Council of Princeton.

Sauer, a native of Germany and a physicist by training, made his career in medical imaging. His interest in photography started in his early teens when he built a darkroom in his parents’ basement where he developed and printed black and white film. Today he works exclusively with digital cameras.

Sauer says the appeal of photography is to find “the quiet beauty in everyday life that does not reveal itself immediately and that takes time to discover and appreciate.”

The exhibit of photos will be shown at the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street, from March 10 to April 30, 2017. An opening reception will be held Friday, March 10 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

This exhibition is accompanied by a print sale benefitting FOPOS, which maintains and enhances the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve for all to enjoy.
