Street
Photographs by Charlee Brodsky / Poems by Jim Daniels

The urban landscape is a maze of bricks, barriers, boundaries, noise, smells, textures, and lives. Walking the streets, there are many paths to take. As a poet and a photographer, we navigate towards a visual and emotional center in the images we record and create. The photographic eye and the poetic eye have much in common, and much that make each distinct. We create words with pictures, and pictures with words, and, ultimately, shape our creations into an experience of place.



Charlee Brodsky, a documentary/fine art photographer and professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University, describes her work as dealing with social issues and beauty. She exhibits her work nationally and regionally, has been honored with Pennsylvania Arts Fellowships, an Emmy and other awards.



Jim Daniels has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and his poems have appeared in the Pushcart Prize and Best American Poetry anthologies. He is the Thomas Stockham Baker Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon University.
