Programs & Exhibits

 

In Stoddard's Footsteps Presentation & Traveling Exhibit
Over the last several years, Bowie has photograped in the pioneering footsteps of Adirondack photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard, who from his Glens Falls base, photographed the settling of the Adirondack region over 100 years ago. Mark re-visited numerous locations, using large and panoramic format equipment, trying to photograph, as closely as possible from Stoddard locations. The results are fascinating, an insightful look at the changes in the landscape over the last 100 years. First exhibited at the Chapman Museum in Glens Falls in the summer of 2005, the project is now available as a traveling exhibit. It features 40 of Stoddard's classic images side-by-side with Bowie's re-creations. To inquire about displaying it at your facility, please
contact us.

 

Adirondack Waters: Spirit of the Mountains is the complementary program to Bowie's new coffee table book of the same name. This digital multi-format program is a visual and sensory spectacle, featuring the myriad of waters found in the Adirondack Park --- its beautiful lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, brooks and creeks, wetlands and waterfalls. The images are showcased with Mark's sensitive writings and quotes from Adirondack literature, and set to music. It's an inspired tribute to the incomparable gift of waters that give the Adirondack Park its unique look and feel.

The Adirondacks: Light on the Landscape is an inspired portfolio showcasing the incredible diversity of the Adirondack landscape. It features large-scale prints of some of Bowie's finest Adirondack work. Photographed with several different camera formats and processed using the latest printmaking technologies, the results are absolutely breathtaking. The images were photographed all around the Park, in all four seasons, and under dramatically different lighting conditions.

The audience is taken on a visual and emotional journey as Bowie supplements the photography with intriguing insights into the Park -- from field experiences to excerpts from Adirondack literature. There is time to study each piece in detail, to examine the artistry of the medium, the essence and lore of this beautiful place.

The Adirondacks: In the Spirit of Awe & Wonder
The Adirondack experience is ultimately a multi-sensory one. Sights, sounds, and memories define a certain character of this place. These wonders have coalesced in this place as no where else.

This multi-format program features images of the mountains, woods & waters - that showcase the region’s unique "spirit of place". The images are supplemented by music and the written word. It’s an awe-inspiring tribute to this timeless Park.

The Adirondack Experience Digital Presentation
is a multi-format program featuring large and panoramic format images showcasing the area's rich diversity of woods and waters --- in grand moment and intimate detail, by the light of midnight, in the quiet of a backwoods dawn --- projected with state-of-the-art digital equipment. The imagery is supplemented with Bowie's writing, anecdotes from the field, and Adirondack literature.
"It has been said, 'One picture is worth a thousand words', however, your expression in words was the perfect embellishment of the exquisite photos - a sincere expression of your deepest feelings for God's beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing..."
