This month the Mendon Public Library will showcase the photography of Hazel Jokl. Hazel is a senior at Honeoye Falls-Lima High School.
During COVID when school was temporarily shut down, Hazel began photographing things in the natural environment around her that she previously hadn’t had time to notice. She enjoys how photography enables artists to capture the mysteries of nature.
More recently, Hazel has become interested in the intersection of science and art. She has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Ted Kinsman in the Photographic Sciences program at RIT where she learned about photomicroscopy (also known as photomicrography) which is the technique of taking photographs through a microscope.
Hazel hopes her photography will encourage others to think more deeply about the complexity of cells interacting with one another to create the world around us and get out and enjoy the wonders of the natural environment.
