Meet the Photographers
William C. Crawford is a prolific itinerant street photographer based in Winston Salem, NC. He got his start in Vietnam as a cobat photojournalist. He was then inexperienced, but CRAWDADDY profited immensely from staunch mentoring from three Pulitzer Prize winners.
Much later, he co-developed FORENSIC FORAGING, a throwback, minimalist technique for digital photographers with veteran Sydney lensman, Jim Provencher. Crawdaddy has published four books chronicling his photography adventures. He seeks to elevate the the trite, trivial, and mundane of everyday life to pleasing eye candy. He believes that there is hidden visual value almost everywhere, waiting to be uplifted through digital images. See more at -bcraw44 on Instagram.
