Each one signed by Toshi and Pete Seeger. $475 each. One-Of-A-Kind. To order contact Mel Healy melhealy@yahoo.com
Pete at 87 years old performs to a full house, using his favorite instrument, a long neck banjo that may be the most famous instrument in folk music. On this night Pete was joined by his old friend and music legend, Richie Havens along with Sara Lee Guthrie and her husband Johnny Irion. Sara Lee is the daughter of Arlo and the grand daughter of Pete’s long time friend and fellow Almanac Singer, Woody Guthrie. SOLD
Pete Seeger at 87 years old, head thrown back, spirit undiminished, singing his heart out to a crowd that follows his every word and movement. Anyone who has ever seen Pete perform “Wimoweh” will recognize this image. Here Pete is using his guitar while his long neck banjo lies near by.
The majestic Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and her sister ship the Woody Guthrie at rest while the sun sets on them and the Hudson Highlands in the background. One can’t help but envy the solitary crew member, rowing into the growing darkness, silhouetted against the golden glow of the setting sun. SOLD
The historic Hudson River Sloop Clearwater at full sail during the 2006 Great Hudson River Revival. This is the original of the image that was etched onto the face of the 100 copy Limited Edition CD, which was released on the 20th Anniversary of the “Broad Old River” album. This long out of print classic collection of river songs was recorded by members of the Hudson River Sloop Singers. The Limited Edition CD was completely sold out at the 2007 Revival. SOLD
The historic Hudson River Sloop Clearwater at full sail, her flag catching the last rays of the setting sun, framed by the Hudson Highlands. Reminiscent of a scene that could have taken place a century ago, a lone person on shore shares the peaceful setting as this majestic sloop glides on the river that it takes its name from.
Pete had just finished singing “Vote” a new song by Spook Handy, at the Beacon Sloop Clubs Corn Festival when the rain started. Here his cherished “machine” sits on clover under a tree to protect his song board and instruments from the liquid sunshine. SOLD About the Artists Econosmith, the wife and husband photographic duo of Maxine Smith and John Economos, are former New Yorkers who now call Colchester, VT and Provincetown, MA home. As advocates for peace and the protection of our environment their pro bono work has been used by many organizations and causes some of which include: United for Peace and Justice, Mid Hudson Activists, Dutchess Greens and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Maxine Smith combines her photographic talent with a lifelong passion for dance, music and the ocean. She forgoes the highly technical aspects of photography, freeing herself to “feel” the image she wants to create. She strives to create images that capture the passion and mood of her subjects. Her work has been exhibited, published and most recently awarded a First Place in the historic vessel category in the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum Juried Exhibit “Boats Around the World”. John Economos is the son of two accomplished photographers, one highly technical and the other very artistic. He started creating pictures when he was seven and found that he had inherited the technical genes but lacked passion in his images. Working as a photo assistant and darkroom tech throughout his high school years did nothing to enhance his creative side and ultimately he gave up photography for over a decade until meeting Maxine. Her influence is rubbing off and his images are transforming as he seeks to find his photographic identity. His work has recently been used for the feature story in the “2007 Provincetown Pocketbook” and he was awarded First Place in the scenic category of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum Juried Exhibit “Boats Around the World”. Most of their work is collaborative, from the shooting to the post processing. He with his technical skills but lack of color vision, her innate sense of color and artistic vision results in lively debate of how best to present an image. The result is the best of each of their talents and images which each often claims to be their own. They can be reached at Econosmith@att.net and their work can be viewed at www.econosmith.com |
