Isabel Weinger Nielsen, a resident of Northfield, Vermont since 1989 has been “taking pictures” for as long as she can remember. She was encouraged at age 4 by the photographer Cornell Capra who said he had “never seen such a little girl with such a steady hand”. Her earliest influences were her father, family photo albums, and LIFE magazine. At Kirkland College in Clinton, New York, Isabel studied creative writing and spent hours in the darkroom developing black & white photos, as well assisting with public relations for the college’s Arts Division. Over the years, her photographs have included a variety of subjects, including children, nature, sports, theater productions and family life cycle events. Isabel has exhibited her photographs in Vermont, most recently at the Northfield Art Show. She says “My photographs are portraits of people, flowers, landscapes, or abstracts. I compose in the camera and do little editing. I want to capture moments when colors, shapes and details are in balance; I want to translate what I see into something that I can share.” Her “day job” is as Administrative Assistant at Norwich University and she is on the Board of the Paine Mountain Arts Council. She spent many years working part time at the Brown Public Library in Northfield, has done writing and photography for The Northfield News, as well as freelance writing, editing, and book indexing. She is happy to be surrounded by family and friends in Vermont who are often the subjects of her photos, including husband Lars Nielsen, son Noah Nielsen (UVM ‘10), mother Lucille Weinger, and many Nielsen family members. Other influences include son Ari Nielsen (now living in Madison, WI) and the extended Weinger family from East to West Coast. Photographs are available as photo cards or enlargements.
