NOW at the Waterbury Library

Photographs from the continuing series, "Brass Valley Made in America," are on exhibition at the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, from June 3 to July 31.

An Invitation
WHEN: June 19th at 6:30 PM
WHERE: Silas Bronson Library, Waterbury (http://www.bronsonlibrary.org/)
WHAT: Emery Roth will show slides, talk about his experiences, and read poems and stories from the draft of his book on Brass Valley. For three years Mr. Roth has been following the old railroad tracks and photographing among ruins and in the last working brass mill in the Naugatuck Valley. Thanks to the existence of a unique extruder, one brass mill continues operation. It is the last descendent of American Brass with functioning mill buildings in Ansonia and Waterbury. Mr. Roth's photographs capture the men and equipment at work, the large casting furnaces, the extruder, pickling tanks, draw benches, annealers still functioning in a facility that has been making brass tube since before WW I.

Radial Composition with Shrub


Photography provides a unique hinge between the world as its reflections strike the lens of our eye,
and the abstract "musical" language of colors and forms which strike our spirit.
Photos like this one, it seems to me, force the issue.
What would you call it?

Thanks to the owners of Hillside Farm and to Joe Mustich and Ken Cornet who introduced me to them so that I could make photos there. This photo is from my second shoot there. The barns are terrific, and I will be back again soon. There are hundreds more shots to be taken of this window alone.
