Jennifer is a Baltimore native who now lives near Lancaster, PA. Her color photography depicts scenes of Baltimore: Mt. Vernon church, Enoc Pratt Library, antique cars, and flowers. She uses a metallic paper to print her photographs which enhances both the image and colors. Jennifer says, “The photographs I consider to be my best are those in which I have an emotional connection. I wait for that connection to reveal itself, for the purpose of the photograph to emerge.” Her exhibition is at Sparks Filling Station from May 10, 2010 through July 11, 2010.

Summer Underwood-Photography Exhibition-March 15-May 9, 2010 at Sparks Filling Station.
Summer is a MICA graduate with a major in Photography and Art History. She is a Baltimore native and resides in Northern Baltimore. She has also lived in Wyoming which she considers to be her second home. Her photography exhibition includes a series of black and white images of the NCR Trail (now known as Torrey C. Brown Trail) and a color series of photographs taken while she lived in Wyoming. Summer says, “Photography is not only an escape it is an exploration. My photographic vision stemmed from my love of nature and my need to preserve the diminishing natural environment. Since 2003, my work has involved landscape, conservation, preservation, and the environment in one form or another. Immersing myself in landscape through hiking and trail biking has led to many explorations with my camera. To be surrounded by the landscape is the best way to truly capture the landscape in photography.”

“I can be inspired or intrigued simply by daylight passing through a living room bay window and falling upon a cluttered indoor space. I paint the same house in sunlight, snow, rain, dawn and twilight. These places I chose for one reason: their familiarity. They are spaces I know well, have resided in, or have visited often. They are completed on site, alla prima, in whatever conditions are present.”-Amber Carky
