Dick Roberts

Dick says his background is “pretty simple”, as follows:

“In my twenties I was a film animator in Paris…I met Cartier Bresson who saw my photo work and encouraged me to continue in that direction.

“Back in the states I was a live action filmmaker. Worked on lots of documentaries. Shot a lot of stills.

“Recently started painting (water colors) and experimenting with digital cameras.

“Most recent expo was at Arcadia Coffee Co. in Old Greenwich with large (30X40) photos taken from the front of a speeding train called “Fast Tracks”.

Jay B. Wilson

Jay has been a photographer ever since his grade school work with the truly awful little Kodak Disc camera.  He was nonetheless inspired and his passion has evolved over the decades.

After moving to NYC in 1996 he began to compose images of Gotham, often working to contrast the old and the new, the historic and the modern, the classic and the sleek shapes that rise above us. He later moved to Cos Cob and had two children, leading to a new emphasis in portrait photography – especially babies and children.

Jay continues to do commercial work along with his fine art and NYC perspectives. Has a booth at the Fulton Stall Market at South Street Seaport in Manhattan.   He has exhibited extensively and his work has been featured in many publications, including Popular Photography.
