LUCY BECK- Lucy's work starts with being backlit.  She takes multiple shots of the same image, changing only exposure, and then combining 6-10 photos to reveal small parts of each exposure.  This process slowly builds up a painterly looking picture. GENE DOMINIQUE- "A photographer I admire noted that anyone can create a good picture.  What is harder to create is a series of related photographs that together tell a compelling story.  So that's what I aim for in my work: the compelling story." In the series "Havana Street Scenes", Gene illustrates how Havana is many things to many people.
