Pastel Silence
Francois de Melogue
2025 | Archival pigment print on professional luster fine art paper, 260gsm. | 28 x 42
"Pastel Silence" is an invitation to pause. Standing by Lake Champlain, I watched the sky fold into soft hues of peach and violet while Camel's Hump wore a crown of snow, as if waiting all day for that very moment.
The stillness felt like a form of grace—a reminder of why I carry a camera: to trade noise for nuance and be shaped by the beauty I witness. It brought to mind Aldo Leopold's reflection, "Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television."
In that quiet light, I felt exactly what he meant, grateful to be among those who still stop to look.

About my work
I spent thirty years cooking in farm-to-table kitchens before returning to the camera. My work is held in private collections across the United States and Europe. A traveling exhibition is currently on view at The University of Vermont Medical Center and Burlington City Hall in Vermont, and my photographs were recently included in the 35th Annual Green Mountain Photography Show. I am represented in Vermont by Artisan's Gallery in Waitsfield, ArtHound in Essex, Artists in Residence in Saint Albans, The Emile Gruppe Gallery, and Remarkable Things in Stowe.
