Vermont Photo Creations
is a family business run by the husband and wife team of Rob and Lori Grego from our home in Essex, VT. Rob is the photographer/webmaster and Lori is the organizational and support expert.
Since our start, Vermont Photo Creations has had the extreme pleasure of offering photographic services to not only local friends and neighbors, but many local and national businesses and non-profit organizations as well.
My portfolio includes many styles of portrait, corporate and event photography and I have found that I am just as comfortable photographing a glistening winter morning from the summit of Mount Mansfield as I am photographing your wedding portraits in a summer or autumn setting bursting with color.
Vermont Photo Creations is located at
29 Greenfield Road in
Essex Junction, VT

David Russell
started street photography over 30 years ago, capturing "moments in time" in cities all over the East Coast.
Rev. Russell left photography for work in ministry as a day manager at Burlington Emergency Shelter, Restoration Baptist Church, and ultimately Director of Burlington Street Ministries. As the economy got tight, so did donations. At the encouragement of his friends (like myself) Dave decided to supplement his income as a professional photographer.
Dave works as a freelance photographer in the Burlington Vermont area. He is available to shoot your event on location. He uses both digital and film. Aspiring models contact him for help with their portfolio and help get you started in the modeling business.

Lakeside Gallery and Art Studio
is owned by Emily Carr; who, for her wonderful life-long body of work, full of the sensitive rhythms and movement from the woods of British Columbia and the Northwest coast; also the bizarre perspective offered in the landscapes/cityscapes of Wayne Thibaud; Milton Avery for his brilliant geometric interpretations from life, and the Fauvist artists as a school give me great joy, for example Derain and Vlamink.

Blue Heron Gallery
After running far behind schedule on restoration of the old
Ethan Allen Firehouse on Church Street, Burlington City Arts is one step closer to turning the building into the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts.
Senator Patrick Leahy, who was at Wednesday's announcement via videotape, helped secure five-hundred thousand dollars in federal funds, under the "Save America's Treasures" grant program. Burlington City Arts still needs to raise about four-hundred thousand dollars. They will use the money to complete construction and outfit the building with equipment. Burlington City Arts hopes to open the center later this year for exhibits, lectures, and educational programs.
... Construction on the building was slowed down over the years when restorers found major structural problems with the former firehouse. Senator Leahy actually used to work in the firehouse. He had his office there when he was State's Attorney and during his first two terms in the Senate.

Black Horse Fine Art Supply
Burlington photographer Irwin Abrams was sentenced to nine years'
probation, sex-offender counseling and a large fine for taking pictures of nude and partially nude underage girls.
Abrams, 68, pleaded no contest in Vermont District Court in Burlington to one count of lewd and lascivious conduct and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The delinquency charges were for giving money to teen-age models Abrams knew were addicted to drugs. As part of his sentence, Abrams must donate ,000 to a local drug treatment facility. ... The child pornography charge was later dismissed. ... Abrams' conditions of probation include a number of safeguards to prevent him from taking more illegal pictures. It is legal to photograph nude adults with the subject's consent, but it is illegal to photograph nude children. (Abrams claims that the girls said they were 18, but that he never bothered to check identification.) ... Burgess pointed out that Abrams victims were young and lacked judgment in accepting the modeling jobs.
Burlington's brand new arts center is located in a very old
building, which created a big problem. But those who struggled to open the center had good reason to celebrate this weekend.
After a year of delay the Center for the Visual Arts has opened at the historic firehouse next to City Hall.
... The arts are big business, and Burlington has a large arts community. First, the non-profit City Arts must raise a lot of cash. The firehouse project was dealt a blow when serious structural damage was discovered in the building that dates from 1889, adding a million dollars to the cost. That makes this a nearly .5 million project. City Arts is still ,000 short of its goal to finish the renovations on the five-story building by next summer.
The half-finished center contains plenty of space for art shows and lectures. In a city full of historic buildings, this one represents a work of art.

Carolyn L. Bates Photography
works alone, with assistants, with art directors, with clients, with homeowners, publishers, contractors, architects...anyone. Even if they've never held a camera, everyone has something to contribute to the teamwork!
I applaud the process of discovering new ways to do things. In architecture and interior design, I love the hot new halogen lights and ideas such as slate roofs made out of used baby diapers and bathroom tile made from broken windshields.
The creative art of problem solving is an addiction for me. I cannot get enough of it...so...send me your unsolvable problems to shoot.

David Gibson will host a reception this evening
as part of the South End Art Hop, the annual open house for the Burlington neighborhood's resident artists.
But Gibson doesn't run a gallery or an art studio. He is the owner of Propeller Media Works, a Web design firm on Flynn Avenue.
... The South End Art Hop is about more than just art. It's about business, as well.
... Bruce Seifer, assistant director for economic development at Burlington's Community and Economic Development Office, said that the neighborhood was a hidden economic gem, and the Art Hop give the South End a chance to shine.
Some of the exhibits will be positioned to highlight opportunities in the neighborhood, Peal said. An outdoor sculpture, for instance, will stand in front of the empty Burlington Food Service building on Pine Street.

Elder Art Program
is a non-profit membership run arts organization for those 55 and older in northwest Vermont. They are working on collaborations with local arts organizations like Artspace & Burlington City Arts. Many of their seniors are Burlington residents on fixed-income who are just beginning to explore creatively with art.
One goal is to put together the stories behind the art work their members have made and turn it into a theatre piece for the black box at the Flynn, sometime in early 2002. Their board is based from their membership. They are also trying to bridge the art world and the senior world, a quite massive task!

Teacher Chris Thompson knows how to make a group of preschoolers
go gaga. She brought two bags of junk into her classroom and let them loose with it.
"It was a gold mine for these kids," said Thompson, a teacher at Ascension Childcare in South Burlington. "There were old bits of yarn and fabric and things you couldn't find any use for yourself. They've turned it all into about 400 different things."
Many of those 400 things will end up together as part of the school's exhibit in the Artcycle Art Quilt Project. It was through that project that Thomspon attended a workshop on making art quilts and brought back the two bags of stuff for her students to work with.
The Art Quilt Project is the first outreach effort sponsored by Artcycle, a program that was started in January. The idea is for schools to create art quilts made of recyclable materials in celebration of America Recycles Day on Nov. 15.

There's something about an art supply store
that gets the creative juices flowing. All those materials right there, waiting for inspiration, present infinite possi-bilities. That's how it seems at Lawrence Ribbecke Architectural Stained Glass on Pine Street in Burlington, where everything anyone needs to create stained-glass windows, lamps or mosaics, awaits the creative touch. There are forms and lamp bases, diamond blade saws and, especially, sheets of glass inside the yellow storefront. It's is the only place in Vermont to buy glass in this form.
Ribbecke never planned to corner the state's glass supply market; he began selling sheets of glass almost by accident. During the late 1970s and early '80s, Ribbecke would travel to Benheim, a large glass supply house in New York City, to purchase glass for his own projects. "I could rub shoulders and learn from other artists and distributors," he says. Eventually he began bringing back extra sheets to keep in his studio,
Vermont International Film Festival.
-- The silver screen takes centerstage in Burlington this weekend for the Vermont International Film Festival. This is the fourteenth year of the festival. But the first year that screenings are taking place in the refurbished media center at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. Films are also lighting up screens at the nearby Contois Auditorium and the Roxy Theater. In addition to showing foreign and independent works, one of the main goals of the festival is putting Vermont filmmakers in the spotlight.
I make some movies, I'm a director, and am working on one now. It's nice to see your film on the big screen instead of a little monitor, plus you get to share it with people," says film fan Maurice Bissonnette.
"Our main focus is films of social concern. We bring different points of view, challenging messages, and aesthetically very high-quality films," says Mira Niagolova of the Vt. International Film Festival.

has been a full time professional wedding photographer for the past 20 years. I've had the pleasure of photographing many special weddings in many beautiful locations.

When on location, I take care to be as professional and unobtrusive as possible. I make it a point to work with the clergy, florist, band, banquet coordinator, and your family to make sure the day goes as planned. This has been the key to my success.

on Burlington's Main Street has been spinning. The space is home to artists of all skill levels who come to learn techniques and put their knowledge into motion. ... Failing finances made the studio worry that it would have to close its doors for good on December 31st. But Burlington City Arts stepped in before that happened. ... City Arts assumes management of the craft school on January 1st. It's estimated that having a city office run the facility will mean about a three dollar per year boost to Burlington taxpayers. Furney says, "It's a huge opportunity to take over with few upfront costs, on the city's part, and get a huge and dynamic program."
Frog Hollow will keep ownership of its retail space on the Church Street Marketplace. One of the goals of closing the craft school was to focus on what Frog Hollow says it does best.
