Arizona and Guatemala: A Photographic Exhibition presented by Through Each Other's Eyes -- CANCELLED
Through Each Others Eyes™ promotes international understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures through photography. The organization coordinates photographic exchanges, educational programs and traveling exhibitions to help people around the world understand and embrace cultures different from their own. The subject matter of the resulting exhibitions centers on people and their daily lives: their work, their relationships with each other, their festivals and celebrations, nature and landscapes and simple scenes of their daily activities. The Arizona and Guatemala exhibit features Guatemala photographers Rony Mejia, Javier Alvarez and Arizona photographers Geoff Reed and Rebecca Wilks.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Rony Mejia (Guatemala)
Rony was introduced to photography while pursuing an ecotourism major in college. His work in off-the-beaten track parts of his native Guatemala and his studies in ecology, geography and anthropology frequently place him in the right spot at the right time. His interests include travel, street and landscape photography with an emphasis on mobile. Rony’s pictures and editorial work have been published in books, magazines, brochures, campaigns, websites and advertisements from the Guatemalan National Parks Service (CONAP), Tourism Board (INGUAT), Defensores de la Naturaleza Foundation and private clients.
Javier Alvarez Vassaux (Guatemala)
A psychologist by profession, Javier’s interest in photography started when he was a teenager. He entered into digital photography around 2005, when he bought his first digital camera. In 2012, he joined the Club Fotográfico de Guatemala, where he found a very stimulating environment in which to learn and explore the endless opportunities that photography offers. Javier’s work has been published in the Club Fotográfico de Guatemala Annual Book since 2013. He collaborates with several nonprofit organizations, especially in fields related to nature conservancy, cultural Guatemalan themes and folklore.
Rebecca Wilks (Arizona)
Rebecca has been an avid nature and travel photographer since her teens. She strives to connect others with the natural and cultural. The camera permits her a unique viewpoint and a meditative way to interact with nature, people, color, and emotion. Her work can be seen in Arizona Highways publications as well as Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Budget Travel Magazine, Vermont Magazine, Cowboys and Indians Magazine, and Popular Woodworking Magazine. Rebecca also enjoys creating images to assist nonprofits in promotion, and has volunteered in this capacity with Rotary International, the Wheelchair Foundation, Cooperative for Education (Guatemala), and the Open Arms Home for Children (South Africa).
Geoff Reed (Arizona)
Geoff is a Phoenix, Arizona-based photographer providing corporate, editorial, travel & adventure photographs of people on location for business and consumer publications. His interest in travel originated in his early years growing up in India, France and Central Africa, and as a commercial photographer he enjoys working with clients throughout the United States. He has published credits in advertising, corporate and editorial photography. Geoff teaches commercial and digital photography classes as well as summer international study abroad in Prague, Berlin and Vienna through the Maricopa Community Colleges.
