PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER

When Chris Calkins was twelve, his father, a professional photographer, gave him a camera; in the next sixty years, he has never been without one in hand. It's been a mirror, a witness and a psychological distillery in a life that Calkins designed as an adventurous exploration: of communities, human interactions and the way individuals in the most specific narrative circumstances refract into our universal shared experience. His life has been about seeing, and the awareness that lies behind it.
