Ocean County Library Toms River Branch presents Lucille Rielly's "People and Places" throughout August

originally published: 07/20/2022

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch presents “People and Places,” an exhibit by award-winning photographer Lucille Rielly, throughout the month of August. The display, which will occupy the 2nd Floor Gallery, consists of color and monochrome candid photos, and will demonstrate her implementation of Photoshop software. 

Lucille’s images have captured awards at the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights, the Guild of Creative Arts in Shrewsbury, the Ocean County Camera Club, and the Pennsylvania Center of Photography in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. 

Lucille traces her love of photography to the late 1990s, when she became a member of the Ocean County Camera Club. She entered competitions, she recalled, hoping for critiques that could help her improve her skills. “I began to use Photoshop for special effects and for adjusting portions of my images,” Lucille said. “When traveling to other places, photographing people in their environments became a particular interest. Many of these photographs are part of the display.”

“People and Places” is open to the public during regular Library operating hours. No registration is necessary to view the exhibit. To learn more, visit the Branch, 101 Washington Street, or call (732) 349-6200.

"Open

"Open Book(s)" - Adventures on the wild frontier of bookmaking, and meaning-making, in the first floor galleries of Mana Contemporary

Books do not need to be beautiful objects to be cherished. Many indispensable books on my shelf were in poor condition when I brought them home from the shop. The publishers who put out the cheap yellow-page paperbacks that rocked my world and set my course when I was a child didn’t give much consideration to font, printing, or paper stock. All that mattered was readability. Could I open it fast, close it up quick, and chuck it in my bag when I was done? If anybody at the publishing company was making design decisions, those were their objectives. Any impediment to or distraction from the reading experience was unwelcome. They took it for granted that everything that mattered was inside the book.
