June Issue 2006
Art Asylum in Bluffton, SC, Features Works by Greg Smith
The Art Asylum in Bluffton, SC, will present the exhibit, Bow Shots, Cockpit Photography by Greg Smith, from June 2 - 30, 2006.
Some 300 years back, when Blackbeard (the pirate) prowled the Carolina coast, a cannon ball lobbed across a vessel's bow warned the crew to heave to or be destroyed.
Smith's 25-year photographic essay of the Bluffton area includes many shots warning of what we're losing to rapid development. In recent years, a frequent platform for Smith's camera has been the cockpit of his kayaks, paddling the Lowcountry marshes and more exotic locales. Bow Shots is the result: nearly two-dozen prints littered with his vessel's forward triangle and the wonderful scenes where it carries him. Smith has documented the Lowcountry since 1981, making pictures, editing and writing for publications and other clients, locally and around the world. A veteran of several local volunteer organizations, he now chairs a committee for the National Press Photographers Association. Smith helped Sallie Ann Robinson write Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way, also providing pictures for the 2003 book, The Maryland-born son of a Savannah belle.
Smith graduated cum laude from Ohio University and has a list of post-graduate credits. He teaches, lectures and consults on a variety of topics, offers fine art prints and stock photography, and accepts assignments from magazines, corporations and families. Smith and his family live on the banks of the May River, near Bluffton. See pictures and learn more at (www.imediasmith.com).
