Our Speaker will be John Francis McCarthy who photographs record the landscapes and seasons, the gorges and vineyards, farms and festivals, the lanes and woodland cathedrals of the earth around Watkins Glen, Ithaca, Skaneateles, Naples, Canandaigua. But, they are captured in a light that casts them with a special serenity. McCarthy's wondrous and inspirational photographs can be vehicles for meditation,contemplation.
