College Club to host zoom program
The College Club of Fanwood-Scotch Plains will host Nancy J. Ori, a well-known photographer, author, and educator, on January 23. Ori is the owner of the New Jersey Media Center LLC in Berkeley Heights and she enjoys teaching photography classes and workshops throughout the United States and Europe.
In 2022, Ori received a HEART GRANT (History, Education and Arts, Reaching Thousands) from the Union County Board of County Commissioners to do photography at approximately 35 local historical sites and create a digital presentation. She spent months researching and photographing the numerous exteriors and interiors of the sites. Her artistic selection of subject matter was determined by the best summary of images to depict the lifestyle of the people who lived throughout Union County during different time periods in our history from the early farms, through the Revolutionary War, to the present. Her presentation provides a balance of images between the architecture, furniture, costumes, and artifacts of bygone eras to reflect those who lived, worked, and played in Union County at earlier times. A few of the familiar locations featured in Ori’s photographs include Liberty Hall in Union, Trailside Nature and Science Center in Mountainside, and The Darke House Museum in Plainfield.
Nancy Ori will present “A Photographic Journey Through Union County” via Zoom on January 23 at 7:30 p.m. The program is free and open to the public.
