photographers.

Stephen Shore


Stephen Shore is interested in photography from an early age. Self-taught, he received a photographic darkroom kit at age six from a forward-thinking uncle. He began to use a 35mm camera three years later and made his first color photographs.  His career began at the early age of fourteen, when he made the precocious move of presenting his photographs to Edward Steichen, then curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art.  At age seventeen, Shore met Andy Warhol and began to work Warhol's studio.  In 1971, at the age of 24, Shore became the second living photographer to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Currently Shore is the director of the photography department at Bard College.


Howard Ruby

Howard Ruby is an outstanding photographer who has commercially pushed the envelope in all areas of photography.  He manages to capture the drama of the subject matter. He believes that an image can leave a lasting impression that far outlasts watching a video or hours of reading a book. He is on a visually supported mission to bring awareness to climate change and conservation programs. These images of polar bears and icebergs are from his Global Warming gallery.
