Around Town Marion Warren -- Timeless Vision of the Chesapeake in Black and White and Color The Tidewater Camera Club will hold its annual banquet at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, 106 South Street, starting at 6:00 PM on Monday, June 2. The agenda will include dinner, awards, and a presentation and video by Joanie Surrette and Richard Olsenius on the work of Marion Warren (1920-2006). Joanie will also recount their experience working with Marion during the last 5 years of his life. Mr Warren's work may be viewed at the Marion Warren Gallery http://www.marionwarren.com. Members should RSVP indicating whether they will be accompanied by any guests and what dish they would like to bring. Nonmembers who are not guests of members may attend by paying the $12.50 prorated membership fee. For more information e-mail president@tidewatercameraclub.com . Marion Warren spent an active career photographing scenes of Annapolis, ships, the Chesapeake Bay, and the landscape and people across the United States. While most of his work was in black and white, he did produce some work in color as well. Mr. Warren began his career with the purchase of his first camera in 1938 when he was seventeen years old, so that he could take pictures of his classmates for the high school yearbook. As a teen Warren discovered a talent that both surprised and delighted him. With minimal formal education in photography, he found opportunity in a series of jobs working in commercial studios in St. Louis. In his free time he wandered the city and the nearby countryside with his camera. The images he took then reveal a surprising early mastery of his art. Enlistment in the U.S. Navy in 1942 brought new opportunities when Marion Warren landed a three-year assignment in the Department of the Navy's Office of Public Relations in Washington, D.C. This experience sparked a deep and abiding awareness of the crucial part photography can play in creating vital visual documentation of day-to-day history. He regularly shot portraits of top Navy brass and events at the White House. He also developed film delivered fresh from Pacific and European engagements, including a roll that contained the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. And he met two people who would play pivotal roles in his career. Mary Giblin, the woman he would marry, was a WAVE in the Navy. She was assigned to write captions for him the night they met, a job she excelled at for more than forty years. He also worked in close proximity to yachtsman Carleton Mitchell, who invited Marion Warren and his family to move to Annapolis, Maryland, so that the young photographer could continue to assist Mitchell as he produced books and articles. Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay revealed a whole new world for Marion Warren and his camera. In just a few years he shifted from covering weddings and taking formal portraits to more challenging commercial and industrial assignments that sent him all over the United States. He saw Annapolis transform from a sleepy town into a thriving center for historic preservation and tourism. His work for architects and planners documented the metamorphosis of downtown Baltimore as he photographed the city before, during, and after the creation of Charles Center. Few weekends were spent at home as his family traversed Maryland so that Warren could shoot hundreds of classic images of famous landmarks and out-of-the-way places. In 1987 Marion Warren donated more than 100,000 black-and-white negatives to the Maryland State Archives, assuring that his legacy would be properly cared for and enjoyed for generations to come. At about the same time he began his Bay Project, an effort to visually document every aspect of the Chesapeake and its watershed, which resulted in his seventh book, Bringing Back the Bay. Then, in his late seventies as his wife's Alzheimer's disease worsened and he needed to stay closer to home, he undertook an extensive portrait project that he called Friends and Neighbors. In August 2001, an exhibit entitled The Photography of Marion E. Warren: A Retrospective Vision opened at The Mitchell Gallery of St. John's College in Annapolis. The exhibit drew a record crowd to its opening reception. Marion Warren met Joanie Surette while assembling the exhibit. In August 2002, a cover article appeared in The Washington Post Magazine that generated a renewed interest in Marion Warren's photography. Late in 2002 Marion Warren began a collaboration with photographer and master printer, Richard Olsenius using a new fine art archival printing process, producing, in the artist's own words, the most superb prints of my work available today. A book featuring Warren's work, Bringing Back the Bay went into a second printing in December 2002. Many of Warren's most recognized pieces are on display at the gallery he opened himself at 14 State Circle in Annapolis. Two of these pieces are shown with this article, "Drifting Dredgers" and "Clam Steamer" and will be discussed in the presentation. The banquet speaker, Joanie Surrette is a managing partner of M. E. Warren Photography, LLC along with Warren's daughter, Mame Warren. Joanie also operates a studio as a graphic designer. She began working with Warren in 2001 and became a close friend, collaborator, and caregiver until his death in 2006. Richard Olsenius, the producer of the video featured in Joanie's presentation, is also an accomplished photographer as well as a Warren collaborator.
