Photography
by
David Olken
A native New Englander and photographer, David Olken has spent the last twenty-five years recording images of places along the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Canada provinces. His pictures explore the relationship between
man-made objects and their natural surroundings and are created from a single digital or film capture without AI enhancement or use of composite elements. He has exhibited locally in many juried group-shows including the New Hampshire Art Association 62nd Currier Exhibition at the Currier Museum and received 3rd prize at the 36th Annual Parfitt Juried Photography Exhibition at the Robert Levy Gallery in Portsmouth. He created two compilations of his works: Northern Diamonds: Ball Fields of Atlantic Canada, and a retrospective of his images from the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Canada – In Search of Norumbega. Trained as a physician, he worked as a general internist in Rochester, New Hampshire for over thirty years and continues to practice
part-time in the community as a hospitalist. He and his wife are long-time residents of Seacoast New Hampshire, and now spend time at their home on the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay as part-time residents on Campobello Island, New Brunswick.
