A New York native, Martha Lipton avoided photography classes until her last year in college where she was completing a degree in Romance languages/Fine Arts. Drawing had always  been her “thing” but when a Pentax fell into her lap, that’s when the love affair began.

From the Village Voice to graphic designer/illustrator/creative director, the camera often played an important role in realizing many of her projects. Today, instead of making drawings that look like photos, she’s more intrigued when the camera sees images as watercolors or paintings. 

Originally from Binghamton, NY, Guy Lindsay first became interested in photography as a photo reporter for his high school publications, leading him to study photojournalism at SUNY Binghamton. Upon moving to New York City, Lindsay honed in on the craft of photography, shooting fashion and still life for several catalogs for over 15 years. 

After joining the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), ad agencies had become his focus, in addition to working in stock photography involving subjects of travel and various New York City scenes. Guy’s series of portraits taken at the Greenwich Village Halloween Parades, eventually lead him to a challenging, yet greatly rewarding engagement with interior and architectural photography. 

In 1990, he moved to Connecticut to start a family, while transitioning careers to landscaping and arboriculture, which he has recently retired from. Currently, Guy has turned to using the iPhone for all of his photography pursuits.
