The late Paul Gerding was a juried, amateur photographer who specialized in macrophotography. His greatest interest was in capturing the effects of light in the natural world. Paul worked with film; each photograph is exactly what he saw. After retirement from his career in physics and computer science, Paul had exhibited in the Frog Hollow Galleries in Burlington, Manchester, and Middlebury, Vermont
