Anna Tomczak - These photographs are derived from impulse and memory. They are carefully designed and executed, but there is a factor that completely relies on the impact of the moment. I explore a rich visual playground of found objects, associative images, and botanicals, all woven in an intricate web of visual metaphor.

Anna, who earned a M.F.A. in Fine Arts Photography from the University of Florida, has her work represented in numerous collections, including the Brooklyn, Orlando, Polk, and Tampa museums, as well as corporate collections such as Sony, Sunback, R.J. Renolds, the Mayo Clinic, and IBM. She has had solo exhibits since 1986, as well as been a part of numerous group shows.

Leslie Neumann - Leslie received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1974 from the California College of Arts and Crafts, and a Master's Degree in Painting from New York University in 1980. After living in New York City for 14 years and teaching art at St. John's University at Queens, she moved to the small fishing village of Aripeka on the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. There began the most visibly dramatic phase of her transformation as an artist.

The underdeveloped coastal lands around her possess a timelessness which she uses as a source for her images. Neumann's landscapes do not depict actual places as much as they represent a state of mind.

Maggie Taylor - Maggie received her M.F.A. from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, and has her work displayed in numerous collections such as the Princeton University and Houston museums, as well as the Center for the Arts in Vero Beach, Florida, and the City of Orlando, Florida Artists Collection.

Jack Breit - Utilizing the state of the art technical resources at Thunderbird Editions... It's possible for me to compose complex multilayered images. Incorporating drawings, paintings, photographs, and three dimensional collages. I then can alter, abstract, or create with the aid of various computers and realtime programs.

Baron Wolman - As the first chief photographer at Rolling Stone Magazine, Wolman helped shape its image for three years, and was one of the "unsung heroes" of the early days of Rolling Stone. Wolman shares his photographic memories of the "three glorious years" in which "music and photos were my life", in which he traveled back and forth across America to photograph live concerts and open air festivals, and to make portraits of the heroes - Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and the many musical icons of the times.

Steve Carlisle - Steve first became interested in photography as a high school student, when he was a photographer for The St. Petersburg Times. After studies at the San Francisco Art Institute, Steve learned the ins and outs of a commercial printshop. While operating a computerized typesetter, he became fascinated with computers and their great applications to photography and printing. In the past few years, Steve has built a virtual laboratory of high-tech equipment which he is constantly upgrading. Steve organized the technology section for the 97' Southern Graphics Council, bringing in international experts and an Iris printer for demonstrations. Steve was also employed as a Research Fellow with Graphicstudio on the USF campus in 1997 & '98 and also co-chaired the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Graphicstudio in the fall of 1998. In 2001 Steve had his first solo show at the Merrick Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida. His photograph of the Indian Teepee road sign is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL.

Alison Wright - Alison is a freelance photojournalist specializing in documenting the traditions and changes of endangered cultures and people in remote areas around the world. She was the 1993 recipient of the Dorothea Lange Award for her photographs for child labor in Asia and lived with exiled Tibetans in Nepal and India for over a decade, recording their culture and challenges which exile has brought. Her first trip to Nepal was in 1988 on what she thought would be a month-long assignment photographing children for UNICEF. She was so captivated by the magic of Asia that she stayed for almost four years, and has continued to return there nearly every year since. Alison was drawn to the Tibetan settlements she encountered throughout India and Nepal. "After visiting Tibet a number of times and sadly realizing that since the Chinese occupation in the late 1940's, more of the culture exists outside of the country than in it, I felt compelled to document the Tibetan life in exile as it evolves and flourishes. While working on this project over the past decade I have constantly marveled at how the Tibetan people have opened up their homes and their hearts to me, confiding their experiences, their memories, their hopes and their fears as they began new lives for themselves in strange lands."

A slide show/lecture as well as an exhibition of fifty color photographs and Iris prints of the exiled Tibetan communities is prepared for travel to museums and universities. She presently resides in San Francisco, California. Check out Alison's web site.

Everybody's Tabernacle - Digital artists Bonny Lhotka, Dorothy Simpson Krause, and Steve Carlisle shared creative inspiration, materials, and the latest in modern technology to produce more than 50 prints - in a week - using IRIS printers and substrates ranging from house-painters' drop cloths to fine art papers.
