Photography by Andrea Clare

Andrea, a University of Buffalo Graduate, is a freelance photographer for the Greater Niagara Newspapers. She has apprenticed at Mayfair Studio of Lockport and has been a volunteer Photographer for Yme? Productions, photographing concerts at Lockport's Palace Theater. She is currently operating her own business, Classic Photo Restoration, which specializes in restoring and retouching photographs.

"Reflections of a Photographer," is a project she began in February 2007 and took a year to complete. In all of the photos Andrea placed a clear marble to add a reflective surface with the intent that, "it captures a part of that scene not seen straight on." "If you look into the marble," says Andrea, you will see a house a person, different objects or flowers and sometimes I caught myself.

The show opened Saturday, August 16th, with a reception and wine tasting by Leonard Oakes Estate Winery.
