"Communicating Communication through Black and White Photography: Connecting the Diverse with the Shared in Common"
Bill Voxman
Communication is central to the
human condition. Taking on many forms--oral tradition, ritual, the written
word, visual and artistic expression, religious experience, to name but a
few--communication serves as a powerful force for bringing people together.
My presentation will focus on using black and white photography to depict people
from diverse and
various lands and
cultures as they connect with their peers, and, as a result, often with us,
sharing what we have in common.

has been fortunate to couple his enjoyment of travel with his passion for that
art form, Voxman's other interests range from fly-fishing and back-packing
