X-WR-CALDESC:A Pulitzer Prize finalist (1982 Feature Photography)\, Walt St
 ricklin uniquely captures levels of empathy and compassion in still moment
 s creating visual metaphors for the human condition. Constrained by the co
 nventions of traditional photojournalism\, he sought and found his own vis
 ual language. Borrowing from the iconic works of David Hockney\, he merged
  his curiosity of cultural anthropology into a series documenting the worl
 d\, covering everything from Mongolian herdsmen to Delta juke joints. His 
 current work focuses on country churches. \n\nHere's what he has to say ab
 out it:\n'My composite landscapes are my attempt to capture that touch bet
 ween people and the harmony they have with the place in which they live. I
  am in awe of the world and how people have adapted to living in it. This 
 only emphasizes my belief that our environment shapes us as much as we sha
 pe our surroundings. The rural south is just one small example of the vari
 ed geography and socioeconomics of our world and how that strength of fell
 owship can shape a community.\n\nConstructing my panoramas by hand from in
 dividual photographs gives me the opportunity to present landscapes that h
 ave a wholly different perspective that anything that can be photographed 
 in a single image. They are sculptures that allow me to blend time\, locat
 ion and my perception of the situation. They go beyond the predetermined p
 roportions of a camera or the homogenized applications of a computer gener
 ated panorama\, allowing the composition to go wherever they lead with mov
 ement both inside and outside\ntheir frame. \n\nThey are not meant to be p
 erfect\; the many individual imperfections are left to engage and draw the
  viewer into my images for the enjoyment of discovery and to help them cel
 ebrate our imperfect humanity. I want my Scapes to have a lyrical quality 
 that allows the viewer to see the music of the visual world celebrating th
 e harmony of place and people\, while respecting our unique qualities.'\n
 \nJoin us on the 14th to hear more\, directly from Walt himself.\n
