\u201cWhat the Camera Doesn\u2019t See\u201d
The photography of Judith Nicholls
As Judy approaches her subject, she is constantly seeking what is interesting \u00a0\u2013 both the beautiful and the not-beautiful.
She is less interested in representing actual reality \u2013 in simply documenting a scene or object \u2013 as showing her personal view of it. Then after capturing an image, she continues to work with it until it fully reveals what was in her mind’s eye back at that shutter click moment.
And although she sees this as a personal act of self-expression, she is kind enough to also share it with us all. Keep reading to hear Judy tell you more about a few of her favorites.
\u00a0 \"\"
“Driftwood Store II”<\/em> Driftwood, TX, photo on aluminum, 16 x 20 inches, $170
“I love old things, old buildings, old objects, old cars, almost anything old. . .\u00a0 I also love brick and stone buildings.

This photograph was taken in January 2008 near dusk.\u00a0 It is the only photograph that I am aware of with the front door open, showing the antiques that were arranged in there at that time.\u00a0 Also unique that day was the flags and chair and table outside. Sadly, some years later the right side was painted, obliterating the historic words “Driftwood Country Store.”

After a few years of my selling this as it was originally photographed (except for removing the many power lines), I modified it by replacing the late evening boring sky with blue and some clouds and a fringe of tree branches.

You can see it like this by photographing it from across the street, and it is from such a photo that I took the fringe of oak branches.”

\u00a0 \"\"
“The Big Tree,”<\/em> photo on aluminum, 16 x 20 inches, $170
“The Big Tree is located in Goose Island State Park near Rockport, TX.

I had taken many photographs of The Big Tree but was never satisfied enough with any of them to offer them for sale.\u00a0 One day I decided to try to shoot it with my infrared camera.
An infrared photograph shows living green leaves as white.\u00a0 In this case, it provides a good contrast between the dark trunk and branches and the white leaves.
The new fence (installed to protect the famous tree) also “frames” the photo from below, and the tree on the right “frames” it from the right and top.”
