Karl Forrest Ehrlich: Views and Visions

Vernissage Sunday August 31 at 2pm at the Library

August 31 to September 28, 2025

Light Is ephemeral. My images focus on moments, which are often missed. In addition
to views of beauty, I try to capture mystery and emotions.

My photographic journey began in the ‘60s, when I obtained my first Pentax Spotmatic
and LunaPro light meter.
I am a marine and freshwater ecologist with a background in forestry. I worked, for 30
years, in applied environmental microbiology to protect and restore our common universal
heritage — The Earth and its Inhabitants. No matter what one’s economic status,
personal beliefs, we are all Earthlings. If we don’t find common ground to restore,
preserve and protect our small, insignificant but precious planet, we shall all be doomed.
Photography is an extension of my life’s work. I try to capture form, light, and colour,
which are not only fleeting but often overlooked or lost when one sees and photographs
objects as illustrations. My goal is to show the beauty of nature with refreshed perception and to focus on
spirituality, emotions and the mysterious.
I am a graduate of a MASTER CLASS — Fine Arts and Science of Woody Omens (past president, Amer. Soc.
Cinematographers; Professor Emeritus, USC, School of Cinematic Arts; and past chairman Motion Picture
Academy – Student Academy Awards Committee).
My work has been exhibited in California, including the Leica Gallery, West Hollywood (2019 & 2020). Solo
exhibits in the North Hatley library include (2019, 2022, 2025) and the Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre,
Lennoxville (2019), solo exhibit North Hatley Marina (2020-2024). Other local exhibits include Studio Georgeville
(2019), Objectif Photo, Exposition Grand Angle, Centre Culturel Pierre-Gobeil, Sherbrooke (2019), Mac Arts,
Newport, VT (2019-2025), Tour guide (2023) “LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE ART OF SEEING”
