Photo boxset great look at village
Mariemont, considered one of the finest -- if not the finest -- planned communities in the country, is filled with history and charm. People traveling through the village, either for business or pleasure, are always impressed with the aesthetic and the warm, friendly aura that is innate with the community.
What has been lacking, though, are momentos, keepsakes, something in the area of a souvenir, that capture part of the essence that is Mariemont that visitors can take home with them.
As a result, local photographer Robert A. Flischel decided to hone his camera's eye on some of the village's more recognizable landmarks and snap a few pictures that people can take away with them.
"I had been encouraged to do something creative. It took a while for me to finally get around to doing the project, but now it's complete and I decided to box some of the original photographs and have them matted on individual cards," Flischel said.
There are six photographs in the set, called "The Towers and Cupolas of Mariemont", shots taken of the familiar structures from unique vantage points with intriguing lighting and backdrops. They are 4"x6" photos on a 5"x7" card and the box comes with envelopes so that the pictures may be mailed if purchasers decide to go that route.
The boxed set would also make for a nice, subtle gift with the holidays being just around the corner.
"The Towers and Cupolas of Mariemont" sets are available at The Villager and are $15 a box.
Flischel is presently working on a subsequent box set, but details are not yet available.
