Stephen Crowley
Crowley will present his portfolio of work which records President Barack Obama's first year in office. He'll also show images from his current book project "Times Spent: Florida 1972-1984".
Stephen Crowley approaches his work with the same sense of exploration and wonder as when he was armed with a "Polaroid Swinger" at the age of 13. Over the last 25 years he has tried to find insightful moments in the midst of breaking national and international news that can sometimes define, in a single image, politics and culture.
In his personal work Crowley searches for morsels of humanity, irony and humor, collecting images of the country's character as hinted by physical structures, shifting light patterns and happenstance.
In 2002, Crowley, a graduate of the photography program at Daytona State College, was cited as "Photographer of the Year" by the White House News Photographers' Association for a portfolio that included his essays "Voices of Afghanistan" and "A Day in the Life of President Bush." The same year Crowley and four other photographers at The New York Times were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for work produced during the war in Afghanistan. In 2002 he received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C. In 2005 American Photo Magazine included Crowley on its list of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.
His personal photography has been exhibited in shows at the Library of Congress, The National Geographic Society, and the Corcoran Art Museum.
Lesley Frowick
In 1989 Frowick drove cross-country on a 26-foot 1967 model Airstream, a once in a lifetime personal journey of discovery to explore our great country. Frowick recorded the trip on her Nikon and Hassleblad in B+W and Kodachrome. She explored the nation’s capital to Amish country, the sticky Southern swamps to the parched deserts of the Wild West, discovering our glorious peppered with (as her mom would say) "High Tack" country. In 2009, which marked the 20th anniversary the “Great American Airstream Dream”– Frowick repeated the trip - this time with a 2 pounds 12 inches Airstream model and her son in tow, to explore post dot-com America. She will present images from both the trips.
Lesley attended a year-long photography program at the International Center of Photography on the heels of a year in the NY fashion world. She assisted in commercial studios for five years before moving to California where she established her freelance photography business shooting commercial product shots, portraits and events. She has been published in numerous magazines including House and Garden, SPAN and Vanity Fair, and aired on CBS. Her photographs have been exhibited in San Francisco, CA wine country and Puerto Rico. Currently she works at National Geographic in the Image Collection clearing rights for Digital Media. She continues to travel and explore the world, shooting mostly nature and human interest photography with a whimsical twist.
