An Eye for the Camera

Photos of flames, sunsets and trees; close ups of spiderwebs on a fence corner; dramatic lighting hitting martini glasses and crystal balls give patients in the Trumansburg Optical waiting room something to look at. Like most art displayed in local shops, the 11 photographs on the wall are for sale and three have already been claimed. Unlike most local artists though, this photographer is only in high school.

Sara Oros, a junior at Charles O. Dickerson High School, began taking photographs three years ago but said things really took off in the past year. Oros opened her first show in early December in Trumansburg Optical on Main Street.

“I’ve really been enjoying photography and thought it’d be fun to share [it],” she said.
