What Makes the City Great … in Photos By Alison Rooney

"Coming Home," by Jennifer Blakeslee hat reflects Beacon’s spirit? That question was put to the community over the summer by the Howland Public Library, with W answers expected in photographs. The results can be seen in The Spirit of Beacon, which opens at the library on Saturday, Sept. 8, with a reception from 5 to 9 p.m., and runs through Oct. 7. The exhibit, a collaboration between the library and the Spirit of Bea- con Day Committee, includes more than 50 photos by 36 contributors. The most popular subjects were the waterfall, the dummy light, and Pete Seeger, says Michelle Rivas, who curated the show with Jennifer Blakeslee. “One of my favorite photos is by lifelong resident Jean Noack,” says Rivas. “The image is a silhouette of three girls just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company at Pete and Toshi Seeger Park. It’s just such a joyful image, and it perfectly celebrates the beauty of our city and the community. “Another that stood out is by 15-year-old Alex Turk,” she adds. “It’s a simple but expressive photo of the shadow of a sculpture at Dia:Beacon. Besides being such a beautiful photo, I appreciate it as a unique and unexpected take on the idea of the Spirit of Beacon.”
