December’s “1st Friday” Gala We served warm cider and cookies to our visitors during December’s
“1st Friday” gala on December 4th, 2005. We were all treated
to the harmonious sounds of our Christmas Carolers who visited participating
businesses that night. |

Our guests had the pleasure of watching our featured artist, Matthew Zelnik, do a caricature drawing of Corner Framing & Gallery’s owner Linda Shearer and her two pet Huskies, Codi and Indio. |

March’s “1st Friday” Gala In March, we invited Ghost Trekkers of Delaware (www.ghost-trekkers.com) to join us. The group is currently collecting Delaware County ghost stories for a book entitled “Delaware, Ohio – The Haunt is On!” The book will be sold in local businesses with a percentage of the proceeds donated to Main Street Delaware. Corner Framing & Gallery is a proud business sponsor of this compilation of ghostly tales. Ghost Trekkers has commissioned freelance writer Misty Bay to research and write the book. Bay was our featured artist on March 3rd, 2006 and was in our gallery to share ghost stories and paranormal photographs with our visitors. |

April’s “1st Friday” Gala Corner Framing & Gallery welcomed John Holliger on Friday, April 7th as he provided a peaceful reflective piece for the guests. His exhibit included images taken of the four seasons with 5-minute narrative and musical accompaniment interludes. Holliger also instructed guests on how to “read” a painting or picture, and described how that differs from viewing images on TV. John Holliger – Artist Biography At the age of twelve, I began taking photographs with my father’s Speed Graflex 4 x 5 large format camera. My dad taught me black and white photo development and dye transfer color printing in our basement dark room. As a teen-ager, I learned how to use a Hasselblad medium format camera, a Rollei twin lens, and the Leica 35mm SLR equipment. I traveled with my dad to botanical and bryological association meetings around the country and hiked with botanists to remote locations. We brought specimens home in order to do microphotography in our basement onto positives and negatives—developing the negatives by dye transfer into 11” x 16” prints. This experience was the inspiration for a life long love of photographing unassuming wonders of nature in out-of-the-way places. I grew up in Huron, Ohio within easy walking distance to nearby wetlands, woods, and Lake Erie. A graduate of Oberlin College, Yale Divinity School, and Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I was ordained an Episcopal priest in February of 1975. I have served churches in Bolton, Connecticut, Wooster, Ohio, and Marion, Ohio. The photographs you are seeing were created with a Leica R5, R8, and R9, and a Hasselblad 500cm, using Velvia transparency film and Reala print film. Each picture takes hiking to find; careful timing for unusual light and weather conditions; and patience, silence, and solitude to see, compose, and create. I’ve made photographic pilgrimages to Olympic National Park, New Mexico, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Oregon coast, and the Isle of Iona in Scotland. Framed photographs can be seen and purchased at Sacred
Path Gallery and Book Store in Cleveland, and Corner Framing & Gallery
in Delaware. You can place a custom order e-mail to johnholliger@verizon.net. |
