Postcard for Power and Presence

Theo 1969

Ardath Weaver contacted me a few weeks ago after hearing about Glenda Wharton's Theo Westenberger Women of Excellence Award. She had known Theo as a teenager at the beginning of her photographic life. Here are some photos and a testimonial:







Today I learned that North Carolina filmmaker Glenda Wharton had received the Theo Westenberger Award for Extraordinary Achievement By Women in the Arts and I was reminded when I saw her name that I had been meaning to try to reconnect.

I had recently been looking at snapshots we took in 1969 - the summer we went to Europe instead of Woodstock. We were in a Sarah Lawrence College summer study program in Paris followed by a Greek island cruise - studying art with Barbara Rose. I recall Theo as dramatic and stylish and never without her camera.

Preparing for AIR show

We will be showcasing Theo's extraordinary portraits of women who have defied their time, so much like Theo did.  Coming up at the AIR gallery in January.

Theo' Beaches

As the summer winds down I am looking through Theo's beaches and reminded of her ability to take you with her through her photographs.

Yum!

Theo was an excellent food photographer.  She did these images for National Geographic Traveler's TASTE OF ASIA.
