Off Shoots is an exhibition of images made during off hours by the photography staff at The Syracuse Post-Standard. Created without the promise of payment or publication, or the pressure of a deadline, this personal work presents us with the unique approach and aesthetic of each artist.
The day schedule of these staff photographers can include high school sports, local politics, human interest stories and weekly features. Within the last two years they have traveled to cover the war in Iraq, cultural history in Ghana, West Africa, the beautification of Mother Cope in both Hawaii and in Italy and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. Technically they have made a seamless transition from film to a digital platform and most recently they are meeting the challenge of Web-based publishing.
With an average newspaper experience of more than fifteen years, this group of photographers tells stories everyday with a single image. Off Shoots captures the story of their personal lives, creative interests, and passion for their livelihood.
