Meet Jay Fitzpatrick
Jay’s lifelong passion for photography emerged during his high school years in the 1960s. This fascination persisted throughout his college years, where he served as a staff photographer and darkroom technician. However, life took him down a different
path in journalism, resulting in a 30-year hiatus from photography. In his mid-50s, he rekindled his passion and enrolled in the Art Institute in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Currently, Jay’s passion for capturing everyday moments fuels his continuous learning and skill development. He finds great joy in capturing fleeting moments that resonate deeply with him, inspiring him to create art. His digital processing skills are constantly evolving and remain timeless.
Meet Rick Stockwell
Rick’s inspiration comes from his deep love for New England’s stunning scenery and cozy lifestyle. With over 35 years of experience, he’s become a master at capturing the striking contrast between architecture and the beautiful seasonal changes. Each season offers a fresh chance to document what he can and share it with the world. He lives in South Sutton with his wife Susie Lowe. He’s a retired guidance counselor and has 55 years of bonsai craftsmanship. He currently has an impressive collection of over 250 trees. His bonsai experience even made it into a feature in YCN News. Rick’s artistic talent is truly multifaceted. To check out his photography, head over to rstockwellphotography.com.
