Jerome Szymczak is a photographer and travel writer whose background is as varied and intriguing as his world wanderings. Based in Alameda California, Jerome's photos and articles have appeared in publications as far-reaching as National Geographic Traveler and The Athenian. "I've never been one for 'primary identifiers' which is to say, I see elements of my travel writing, interior design endeavors, picture framing and charity work with children and families in my photographs. Perhaps being born in middle America in the mid-twentieth century had something to do with being pulled in so many directions ... literally. "Any point on the compass still promises adventure and photographic 'drawing with light' challenges. Every shot is an opportunity to find some common narrative, a shared humanity, in that tenuous thread that connects us as viewer, subject, and photographer. Sometimes, in that magic moment when I press the shutter, I feel like all three at once." © Jerome Szymczak. All rights reserved. Design: Art101.com |
