The pictures you see here represent subjects I have been interested in
photographing for the past twenty years. Most of my work follows the
traditional method of using a single exposure. Some subjects, however,
lend themselves to a more unique presentation, and have led me to begin
experimenting with multiple exposure, movement and stereo
(3-dimensional) photography. The option of manipulating a photograph to
match my interpretation of it continues to intrigue and challenge me.
My love of the landscape, its beauty and design, has been consistent
throughout the years. Texture has always played a large part in my
landscape photography and has led me along some very interesting paths,
including my discovery of historic burial grounds. I have been looking
for and walking through these graveyards for 8 years now and have come
away with many images from my visits there. I also seek out texture in
architecture, particularly weathered structures seemingly untouched for
years. These interests have given me a new perspective of landscape
photography.
Portraiture is another favorite subject of mine. New possibilities
constantly present themselves through the use of double exposure,
shutter speed, depth of field, lighting and so on. Profiles,
dramatization, symbolism and multiple sequencing are variations I often
touch on initially to determine what direction a shoot goes in. I rarely
go into a shoot with an idea carved in stone, preferring a “let’s
experiment” approach. Since the person I’m photographing also comes with
something in mind, the final result is a collaborative effort between
the two of us. It continues to be great fun experimenting with
portraiture, its surprises being part of the reason photography has
stayed fresh for me over the years.

Don Manley and Michel Schtakleff will present a seven minute video clip of their documentary entitled “Old House Soul”. They are researching the local history of architectural preservation with a focus on preservation architect Steve Tyson. Steve Tyson and his firm, Architectural Preservation Group, have been fixtures of the Apponaug community for decades. Steve’s work in Apponaug includes the Harrison house on Post Road south, the Caleb Gorton House on Greenwich Avenue, his shop on Meadow Street, and the Arnold house previously located near the Four Corners, which he saved from demolition by moving it to Buttonwoods.
He was also involved in the formation of the Apponaug Historic District and on Warwick’s Historic District Commission. After screening the trailer Don and Michel welcome the audience’s input related to historic architectural preservation.
Audience commentary may be included in the film.
Additionally Don will speak of his experience moving an 1840s house from Scituate to its current location in Foster. He also relocated the 19th century Bennett barn to the same property. The presentation is accompanied by a slide and video show.
The Warwick Museum of Art proudly presents Unexpected Company, Rhode Island's premier long-form improvisational comedy group, every Sunday night at 7:17 PM.
Unexpected Company is held in the main exhibition gallery and intended for mature audiences. Admission is $5.00.3259
