Len Emery

Len Emery, based in Springfield, Vermont, is an aerial, photojournalistic, and fine art photographer. Having carried a camera since Vietnam in 1969, Emery learned to fly in 1996, and at the same time built a darkroom. Later work as a freelance photographer for the Rutland Herald furthered the artist’s passion for showing the lives of people and recording the history of places.

In this show, Emery presents two panorama prints, “New Haven, VT, 25 in x 55 in, and “Somewhere over Thetford”, Vermont, 20 x 54. New Haven is located in north-central Addison County and was Chartered on November 2, 1761. Otter Creek, one of the longest rivers in Vermont, forms part of the town's southwest border. "Somewhere Over Thetford Vermont" was taken as part of the artist's shooting of the coffee table book "Vermont From One Thousand Feet." In this aerial shot taken from the photographer's plane, Mt. Ascutney can be seen in the distance left of center as well as Lebanon Airport on the lower left side of the frame.
