photographs by Jim Dugan

Rockland photographer Jim Dugan creates a wide variety of pictures but the most surprising is a series of digital kaleidoscopes that he’s been making, all with Maine themes. He says:

“Yes, I know this is a bit of a gimmick. So sue me. There are plenty of gimmicks in photography these days. They’re all wonderful or terrible, depending on who is using them and what images result. There’s lots of fun stuff in this process: choosing the photo, choosing how to slice it, what to do with the background. I’m not sure where this will lead but for now, it’s satisfying.”

He’s in the process of printing them on 30″ metal disks. Some will be on view at Thomas Moser Cabinetmakers in Freeport this summer.
