Art Exhibit:
Photographer June Steffensen Hagen will exhibit “The Astoria Elevated Line” in the Main Reading Room at Darien Library through February 15th. Hagen, when discussing this collection of photographs, explains that she simplified her subject matter down to a single segment of the vast New York City subway system: the elevated trains that run from Manhattan through Queensboro Plaza to Astoria, Queens (where she resides). She states that her rules are to 1) simplify; 2) pay attention; and 3) celebrate. “By paying photographic attention to riders and workers, stark structures, and nuanced views, I intend to celebrate a mundane, yet often beautiful part of urban life,” Hagen said, adding, “The question remains, of course, do you see what I see?”
Hagen, a retired English professor, is a member of The Catskill Art Society, The International Center of Photography, and The Manhattan Miniature Camera Club.

Short and Sweet (and Warm)
Short Stories for a Short Month
(by the fire)
Every Tuesday, throughout the month of February, we'll be featuring "Short Stories for a Short Month," a short story discussion group. The group will meet in the Magazine Room by the fireplace on Tuesdays, from 3-4 p.m. Carroll Stenson will be the discussion leader. Carroll is a Darien resident and is an experienced discussion leader. She's led a similar (and successful!) program at the Darien Senior Center.
Carroll Stenson
The short story discussion group is not only a great opportunity for those of us (like me) who love short stories to gather and discuss some great ones, it's an alternative for those who would love to take part in a book discussion group, but simply don't have the time. The focus of the discussions will be on content and themes, on characters and how they relate to our own lives.
Come join us by the fire; enjoy the talk, the warmth, and some refreshments.
(Copies of the short stories to be discussed will be provided.)

I call this one...
"A Couple of Brooklyn Gals"
(Me, with the artist, June Steffensen Hagen)
Our new Art On View went up today in the Main Reading Room. It's a photography exhibit, entitled "The Astoria Elevated Line," with fabulous photos from June Steffensen Hagen. Well, we did the meet and greet; got to chatting about NYC and subways, and before long, we discovered we were both a couple of Bay Ridge girls...same High School and Junior High! You just never know what the day will hold.
So, June and her husband Jim were here first thing this morning to hang this terrific exhibit. There's impressionism, there's stark reality, there's humor, and there's detail.
There's also an Artist's Reception and it will be on Saturday, January 19th, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
(Jim Hagen and June Steffensen Hagen)
Enter. It's well worth the trip!
The exhibit runs through February 15th.
