EAGLE ROCK WINERY ANNOUNCES ARTISTS FOR JUNE, 2009

(Williamsport, Pennsylvania)— Photojournalists Ralph Wilson and Stephanie Carey, owners of Street Light Photography, are hosting a studio open house and debuting a unique collection of travel photos Friday, June 5, 2009. The open house and show are two highlights of an evening of art and music from 6-9 PM at Eagle Rock Winery in The Pajama Factory, 1307 Park Avenue, Williamsport.

Travel to some of the most beautiful regions of the world through the eyes of these experienced photojournalists in their gallery, displayed at Eagle Rock Winery, beginning on First Friday, and throughout the month of June during winery hours, Tuesday through Sunday, 12 P.M. through 5 P.M. Carey will be featuring recent images from her travels to Seville, in southern Spain, last fall.

“I toured the city—on foot—for six days, visiting local sights, sampling the local cuisine, taking in Flamenco shows, watching the people of the city, and photographing the sights,” Carey said. She was drawn to the architecture of some of the oldest buildings, the Cathedral of Seville; Alca’zar, the royal palace and gardens; and Torre del Oro, a watchtower and defensive barrier on the river Guadalquivir. Her work has won numerous fine art awards at the Gmeiner Arts and Cultural Center in Wellsboro and Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs exhibits in Williamsport.

Wilson, well-known for his work with The Williamsport Sun-Gazette and The Associated Press, has earned national and state honors for photojournalism. He will display images from his recent trip through the Colorado plateau. Wilson says, “The Southwest has been photographed so extensively. The challenge for me was to look at it a new way; to photograph it in a way that hasn’t been done time and time again.” To accomplish that he took to the back roads best suited for four-wheel drive vehicles and skipped the more popular destinations.

In addition to the Winery exhibit, Street Light Photography will host studio tours of their new production area and camera room. Specializing in photojournalistic weddings and portraiture, the new space at The Pajama Factory has allowed Street Light Photography to expand their services to include high school senior, family, and business portraiture as well as small product photography.

Additional Entertainment at The Pajama Factory

The evening of June 5 will also include live music by The Backwoods Experiment in The Pajama Factory’s courtyard, as well as work on display by a number of Bald Eagle Art League and Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs members. Other artists occupying studios in the building will also be on site, showing their work.
