“Photographic
art produces a unique expression of ideas and emotions in
the mind of the viewer.”
Gordon P. Brown
Ever
since he was 12 years old, Gordon Brown has been making
pictures and printing them in his own darkroom. So seeing
an image from the initial concept to the finished print is
natural to him – only now, he does it digitally.
With
a BS in Photographic Science from RIT, and a Masters in
Education, Brown enjoyed a 33-year photographic career at
Eastman Kodak Company where he, taught workshops, worked
in scientific photography, and coordinated black-and-white
products. His claim to fame: He thought up the name
“T-Max.” Gordon has authored three books on
photography: one on the Stop System, and two for
teenagers. He has lectured extensively, and taught at
workshops throughout the US and Canada and has been a
member of industry and educational associations and
advisory boards such as: RIT, BPA, FOP, NTID, PMA, and
others.
Gordon,
a Mensa member, is also a consultant to Kodak for Digital,
and Scientific photography and hold six patents on
professional photo equipment. Now in his
"retirement" travels throughout North America
lecturing extensively and giving workshops on photography
and digital imaging as a Kodak Digital Ambassador.
Currently he spends most of his time with the Digital Zone
System, in the “light room” making B/W inkjet prints
with the computer trying to do the same things with Adobe
Photoshop on the computer that he once did in the
darkroom. He is working on a new book on the subject.
Brown’s
photographic travels have taken him to most of major photo
workshops in the U.S. and to Arles, France. His favorite
destination? Yosemite National Park—where he served as
Kodak representative to the Ansel Adams Workshops for ten
years.
"I
was fortunate to work with Ansel Adams, both at Yosemite
and at his home in Carmel," Brown adds. " I am
also greatly influenced by Jerry Uelsmann and his
technique of "post visualization" only I try to
do in the camera what he does in the darkroom -- a
difficult task! I
want to create a photograph that can be perceived as a
good photograph but also as something else -- a
communication with the viewer.
Funding
for the Gordon Brown lectures has been provided in part by
the BCA's Endowment Fund for Education.
