SUMMARY:Programs: (Zoom) - Life with a Camera with Tommy Brown
DESCRIPTION:Bio and Description\n\n\n\nTommy Brown and Friend\n\n\n\nTommy Brown graduated from college and informed his parents he was going to become a photographer; a ludicrous idea as he had never made a noteworthy picture. He saved money working in his dad’s machine shop and took off on a 5 month trip to Europe. This trip would determine the path of my life. It was do or die as he planned to make the pictures that would get him into a graduate art program (ridiculous considering he had not gone to art school as an undergrad). The urgency of this proposition is palpable in the images (some are included in his talk and below). And yes\, he got into the MFA program at Yale\, which was his long-shot at best. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor years\, he didn’t have a darkroom but he photographed obsessively. He’d develop his film at night\, hold the negatives up to see if anything looked good\, sleeve and store. Four decades later\, he’s printing those images for the first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter graduating from Colgate\, he received his MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTune in for his zoom he’ll explain what he’s come to understand about why and how he made these photographs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll photos taken by Tommy Brown \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCOLLECTIONS: \n\n\n\nHis photographs are in numerous private and public collections including: \n\n\n\nMunson Museum\, Utica\, NY \n\n\n\nBeinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Collection Yale University \n\n\n\nYale University Art Gallery \n\n\n\nColby College Museum of Art \n\n\n\nThe Parrish Art Museum \n\n\n\nAddison Gallery of American Art \n\n\n\nLightwork Collection Syracuse University \n\n\n\nThe Museum of the City of New York \n\n\n\nFarnsworth Museum \n\n\n\nTang Museum\, Skidmore College \n\n\n\nColgate University\, Picker Art Gallery \n\n\n\nHe can be contacted at:  www.tommybrown.com and via Instagram @tommybrownpictures.
