Let’s Book It
Captured moments. Brought to you by the Friends of the Windsor Library, the gallery will be featuring instants of time that were snapped by members of the Santa Rosa Photographic Society. Although each has a title, the viewer is invited to use his/her imagination and interpret what the image could convey. Is that one incredibly fresh, green and juicy? Another robust and energetic? And then there’s the one that is simple, quiet and yet provokes a surprising emotional response. Plus, check out the unusual, the mysterious, the elusive, yet elegant and spellbinding.
