The Big Picture Vol. II 
by Suzanne Camp Crosby

Artist’s Concept:

Suzanne Camp Crosby feels that she sees things a little differently than the average person. She has developed a “visual signature” to her image making after having created and exhibited her images over the past three decades in Tampa. As the 2004 Photographer Laureate, she concentrated on capturing the unique characteristics and architectural elements of the City of Tampa. She approached the project in a way that she uses in her curriculum when teaching her photography students: the challenge and the objective. The city was shot in a way that one will recognize the images, but will also be amazed by them.    She shows a piece of Tampa that indicates that she is very much in tune with the area.  Crosby shot Tampa Bay the way she sees it, but used her “visual signature” to document it in a fresh way.
