About Me

au point photography: Molly Dickerson, a native of Columbus, OH, and the creative eye behind Au Point Photography, immediately saw the beauty of the Ohio Valley when she moved there eight years ago. “I always had an interest in photography but honestly had gotten away from it for a while. I moved to the Ohio Valley and started noticing the visual potential and couldn’t help but get my camera out. After many months behind the lens, Molly gathered the best of her work and began entering local exhibits and contests. Her unique photos of the Capitol and the Marsh Wheeling Stogies building in particular generated a great response.(http://aupointphotography.blogspot.com/2010/07/when.html) “I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback. I am really glad to see people taking such an interest in local art.” The French expression “Au Point” translates to “In Focus”. You can see how Molly puts the Ohio Valley in focus by checking out the photos displayed here. The blog is broken up into themes. Who? (people) What? (objects, structures, abstracts) When? (photos that take you to another place and time) Where? (travel photography) Why? (the things that inspire the photographer)

Why?

I find that long time residents of the Ohio Valley sometimes forget just how beautiful our little section of the world is. I often ask, "When was the last time you took a quiet scenic drive into the country on a sunny afternoon, or stopped in the middle of downtown Wheeling to look up in wonderment at the intricate stonework adorning the many classic buildings that still line the streets?" For me, these simple pleasures have become a passion.That being said, I photograph what I see. Quite often what I see in the Ohio Valley has a melancholy tone which has lead to my photographic style being coined "Appalachian Gothic". I capture the subject in whole, including the flaws. My photos juxtapose inherent imperfection with natural beauty. Each observer is drawn in differently, some by beauty, others by flaws, but each destined to see the other side.
