Charles E Brown Black and White Photography
1896-1982
Charles E Brown was born on January 20, 1896, in Wimbledon. He was a commercial aviation photographer. Brown's father was a butcher in Wimbledon, London. He was given a camera for his 14th birthday and in 1911 photographed an Edwardian gentleman who was in trouble landing his balloon in neighboring Southfields. This was published in the Daily Mirror and he was paid a fee of a half-guinea. Brown was encouraged to join the Daily Mirror's photography department upon leaving school at 16. Towards the end of the First World War, he served with the Royal Air Force at their official London Photographic Centre. Following the war, he took to photographing trains and captured a famous photograph of a Southern Railway locomotive that was used for the following ten years in railway posters. The income from this allowed him to pursue his passion for aviation photography in the 1920s and 1930s and helped him to get commissions from the Air Ministry and the Admiralty for the Fleet Air Arm During the war, his work included commissions for Aeronautics magazine. Charles E Brown died on October 9, 1982, in Storrington, West Sussex.

Sierra Mountain Reflections - Black & White Landscape Photograph
By Robert Werling
Located in Soquel, CA
Stunning black & white landscape photograph with trees reflecting in water in the Sierra Nevada mountains by California artist Robert Werling. Signed on mat lower right: "Bob Werling." Presented in a silver metal frame. Image, 15"H x 19"W.
Robert Werling was born in San Francisco, California in 1946 and realized an interest in art at an early age. While briefly attending a commercial art school, he found photography to be his medium and went on to obtain both a BA and an honorary MS from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. He also studied privately under Ansel Adams from 1966 to 1970 and Imogen Cunningham from 1969 to 1975. Through his affiliation with Adams, Werling came to know and work with other noted photographers. Brett Weston became his close friend and mentor and Marion Post Wolcott, relying on his darkroom expertise, entrusted her negatives to his printing genius.
While creating an impressive number of his own fine art prints, Werling also lectured extensively and worked as an instructor for the Brooks Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Zone System Seminars and Workshops in the United States, and for the Werkschule fur Fotografie in Soltau, Germany.
Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe. He was guest curator of photography for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art organizing VIVO, the Contemporary Japanese Photography and Brett Weston’s photographs...
