Landscapes from the Camino de Santiago

2012-01-27T12:00:00.001-05:00

Hiking every day for a month across Spain gave me the opportunity to see the landscape slowly change from mountains to vineyards to lush forests.For the full series check out my website:http://www.markteiwes.com/camino_de_santiago_landscapes

I´m currently walking the Way to Santiago, 500 miles across northern Spain.
Sometime in December I will post a photo series from the trip. For now my wife and I are putting up photos on our blog.... markbecky4.blogspot.com

Sometimes I get to go on assignments that really celebrate a person's life and community. Gene Murray is retiring after teaching for almost 50 years.

We had a spring poetry contest at the Salem News, and I produced videos of the finalists.

For the grand prize winner, I got a little poetic myself with the video.

North Shore 100

Each year the Salem News puts out a magazine with 100 people that have "made a difference" in the community. I did a few of the portraits. The magazine is on sale around the North Shore of Boston.

I updated my Website:
There are four changes to my editoral/photojournalism website.
http://www.markteiwes.com/home/
I put in a gallery of "recent images," from some of my favorite photos that I've taken over the last year with the Salem News.
Also I feature Portraits of the Harbor & Kenya water projects in their own galleries.
Finally, there is a page for videos with a couple short documentary features that I've done.

In 2007, I had a great opportunity to photograph with the Kenyan Red Cross. I traveled with a writer and we documented water projects that were completed in response to major droughts.

It's been satisfying to see photos that I take show up all around town on the front page of the Salem News which reminds me of a few other cover shots that I have had.
A few years ago I did a fine art project on the reflections of water at sunrise; 3 of the images where used for the cover of some books:

Photos for "Bolshio Garod" a Russian Magazine
Last spring, I was contacted by a Russian photo editor to shoot a Russian poet/dissident living in Boston. It was a rainy day & there wasn't much to work with in the public senior housing apartment, so I tried to use some light for creativity. Also much thanks to Becky who helped track him down and acted as a photo assistant.

I covered the Triathlon in Gloucester for the Cape Ann Beacon newspaper. I planned on putting together another stop action video from the individual pictures that I had taken, so kept my shutter snapping and picked 200 of the best images to make this video.

Last Fall I had the opportunity to go into one of Gloucester's historic landmarks. The old paint factory is an unmistakable red landmark on the Harbor.

There is a whale research organization that bought the building to restore it for their work. Prior to the work starting I was able to get some great images from inside the factory.

I'm starting a new project in my neighborhood in partnership with East Somerville Main Streets (www.eastsomervillemainstreets.org)

After my project in Gloucester (http://markteiwes.com/portraits/)

I wanted to have the chance to connect with my local community and take some great portraits in Somerville. We are also working on a cookbook project called "Savoring East Somerville: A Taste-based Guide to the Neighborhood" which will be published this fall.

Here's a picture from my first photo shoot at Fasiki, a great Ethiopian restaurant.

An audio slide show from my Faces of the Working Waterfront exhibition.

I created a collage of voices. The subjects of the portraits read a poem written by Vincent Ferinni, Gloucester's Poet Laureate who recently died in 2007.

Excerpt of an article written by Stephanie Silverstein from the Cape Ann Beacon Newspaper

On the other side of the harbor, photographer Mark Teiwes will be exhibiting his portraits of 31 people who work along the harbor from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The portraits will be hanging on the interior and exterior walls of Capt. Joe and Sons warehouse at 95 East Main St.

“When I was thinking about doing a community art project, I really wanted to also include the people who are actually working down there. Oftentimes, artists will paint or take pictures of the beautiful scenery, which is what I was initially drawn to, but my purpose was to really get down there and meet the people who are working down there,” Teiwes said. “This project is about them, and their faces, and the strength and dignity they have as well as the struggle as the fishing industry is shrinking.”

Each portrait is two feet by three feet, and some of the subjects include lobstermen, fishermen, wholesalers, and mechanics. Teiwes said he chose Vincent Ferrini’s poem “At the Brink” as his literary connection because it is about the harbor and the fishing industry. Teiwes also made an audio slideshow, which can be seen on his web site at www.markteiwes.com, which features the subjects of his portraits reading the poem.

“I’m excited for people to see artwork in a place where it’s not normally seen. To see the dignity that all of these people who are working on the harbor have,” Teiwes said. “It was great for me to go down there and really see the heart of the history of Gloucester.”
