The photography of Linda Krakow Eaman. Meet the Artist on Sunday November 3rd.
Linda Krakow Eaman has had a camera in her hand since she was a child growing up in Montreal, photographing her family’s travels and making prints in her father’s basement darkroom. While university and her early career took her in other directions, photography has remained a constant throughout her life, sometimes as a hobby and, for almost 20 years, as a business focused on portraits and events. After living in Silicon Valley and in London, England, in 2020 Linda and her husband moved home to Canada. They now live on beautiful Wolfe Island, Ontario, where you’re most likely to find Linda tending her chickens and garden, or wandering with a camera and a sketchbook.

Linda says “Photography is how I see the world. I am a photographer of life: from street scenes to landscapes, insects to elephants, portraits of loved ones and of strangers. Photography adds depth to every experience, helping me connect with people, cultures, and the world around me. And it allows me to share that with others; a photograph can tell a story and open a window to another place and time. In recent years I have found myself turning increasingly to nature. It’s a respite from the challenges of the world, and a never-ending source of wonderment. Moving to the country has brought me closer to nature, figuratively and literally—and my camera is never far away. Our travel has become more nature focused too, from camping in Algonquin Park, to watching puffins in Scotland, to a magical safari in Botswana. Immersing myself in the natural world has fed my soul and brought me joy. I share these images in the hope that they will do the same for you.”
Linda will be exhibiting her photography at MERA (McDonalds Corners/Elphin Recreation & Arts) for the month of November. Please join her for a Meet the Artist event on November 3rd, 2pm – 4pm.
