| Curtis
was a professional Winslow photographer who was paralized in a head-on
collision on Sept 3 of 2002.
After nine months
in the hospital and rehab, he's no longer able to continue commercial
photography. However, he does continue to do art photos and art prints
from his wheelchair. Please visit
the Folkways Shop and see his art as well as the other great Ozark folks
and art and crafts.

Curtis' philosophy on photography is that "a photographer is a person who sees the beauty in the simple scenes that surround and can bring that beauty to the viewer's attention so that the viewer can enjoy what might otherwise have been overlooked. A photographer does not create art as a painter or sculptor does. Instead, the photographer preserves, presents, and focuses attention on the scenic views around him. In the Ozarks... it's just a manner of slowing down and concentrating. A photographer is one who uses the tools available to record the beauties seen." ___________________________________________________________ Anyone
with a paintbrush can paint... but may not be considered a "artist". Curtis Neeley truly is a PHOTOGRAPHER. |
