Jerry Uelsmann

I have to thank Phillip Prodger, Curator of Photography at the Peabody Essex Museum for introducing me to one of my earliest heroes in the world of photography: Jerry Uelsmann.

Phillip Prodger, Jim Fitts, Jerry Uelsmann and Jason Landry at the opening of: The Mind's Eye | 50 years of Photography by Jerry Uelsmann and the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA.

I first looked at his work as a senior in high school, more than 20 years ago.  It was through his imagination and technical skills in a darkroom that made me see what being photographer was all about.

His exhibition will be on display at the PEM through July 15, 2012.  Go see it!

Thanks Jerry!
