AgathaO reads at the Northampton Senior Center on April 9, 2025
2025-04-09 13:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Northampton Senior Center, 67 Conz Street, Northampton, MA, 01060
AgathaO (aka historian Pleun Bouricius) reads from her recent collection of essays, Northern Byways and Other Essays From The Road, a travelogue exploring the landscape across the Northern United States and Canada, featuring a couple traveling and camping across both countries in their aging Toyota Tacoma. As one commentator put it, ”You learn a lot about how our world is made. AgathaO not only brings you along in the cab of their heap, squabbles and all, but casually pokes holes into your faith in the credibility of the scenery zipping by through the windshield.” Let’s discuss what you really see when you travel around. The author will sign copies of this and her other books. All are welcome.

Eye Of The Beholder -- Exhibit at the Northampton Senior Center
2026-02-13 17:00 - 19:00 | Northampton Senior Center, 67 Conz Street, Northampton, MA, 01060
Eye Of The Beholder will be up at the Northampton Senior Center Hallway Gallery for February and March, 2026. Get yourself a coffee at the cafe and check out the work! Reception Friday February 13, 5-7 pm. You can find the images in the galleries.
The show consists of nature-based abstracts. I have been wanting to do this since I went back to photography 11 years ago. Despite all evidence to the contrary, we think of photography as a medium for registering, witnessing, what “is.” But I am all about the eye of the beholder. That is, the camera is not doing the seeing, I am. The camera is a tool. My eye, my brain, my heart, my emotions make the image. I connect what I see to what I bring with me. I have manipulated my images from the day I first set foot in the darkroom, in 1982 or so, and I continue to do so. That’s not the same as using artificial intelligence to make images. At this time I don’t use AI for photography, though that is also just a tool. What you see here is photography that has been digitally manipulated, not digital art.
