We’ve all been graced by Judy’s photography talents for years. But where does this prolific creativity come from? How does she create the magic?

This is what she shared:

“I’ve been photographing people since I picked up an instamatic in high school. At Middlebury I graduated to a Nikkomat when my Dad brought one back for me from Hong Kong. Classmates occasionally called me Alana Funt (associating me with “Candid Camera”). After using a Pentax 6X7 for years, I finally went digital in 2006. My creativity lies in seeing the right moment and capturing it. You must be very patient. As I gathered hundreds of images, I looked for a way to creatively display them. My first attempt was the cover of the 1971 Choir album. Cutting and pasting and then photographing the collage was the only option back then.

In the last 10 years I have been making mosaics from the thousands of photos I have. The creativity is apparent in the choice of the main photo and carefully choosing (and scanning and enhancing in the case of old photographs) and cropping each photo. How large can the individual cells be without losing the main image? Should the cells be square or rectangular? It’s tedious, but seeing the result is good for my creative soul.”

▲ Here are a few of my favorite mosaics: my son, Ned, as he’s about to get married, my daughter, Megan, during her wedding in Banff, Old Chapel with photos from the last 50 years, a bouquet of flowers created by hundreds of individual flowers. Please take a minute to stop by the headquarters for 1972 during reunion weekend. My 6’ X 10’ mosaic of the Chapel will be on display!
