Urban Farming
Climate Justice
Greg Miller (2013)
Photography
Greg Miller effectively used his 8 x 10 view camera to document the vitality, activity and pride that are so evident on Cleveland’s growing number of urban farms. A native of Nashville, Tennessee, he moved to New York at the age of 19 to study at the School of Visual Arts where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography. His work, which uses street photography, found moments and portraiture to capture human relationships and a sense of suspended reality, has appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Esquire and LIFE and is widely collected and exhibited both in the United States and abroad. Miller, recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, teaches photography at the International Center of Photography in New York and conducts workshops at several venues including Maine Media Workshops.
Metroparks System
Climate Justice
Barbara Bosworth (2001)
Photography
Barbara Bosworth’s breathtaking impressions of the natural beauty in Cleveland’s metroparks reflect the foundation’s commitment to maintaining open spaces and greenways in our urban landscape. Bosworth, who grew up in the Chagrin River Valley just east of Cleveland and experienced the metroparks as “the forests of my childhood,” now teaches in and chairs the media and performing arts department at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. She is a recipient of the prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, and her work appears in more than a dozen contemporary photograph publications as well as in museum and private collections across the country. The tranquility and timelessness reflected in Bosworth’s images provide a photographic counterpoint to the events of 2001 and confirm the foundation’s long-standing conservation agenda.
