Andrea Baldeck is the wife of William Hollis and in her own right is a musician, physician, and photographer. Her photographs have been exhibited widely and are part of the permanent collections of major museums. Born in a rural village in western New York, Andrea Baldeck began photographing with a simple brownie camera at age eight, imagining herself a Life photographer canoeing through the jungle to meet Albert Schweitzer. This interest and dream pervaded years of musical study at Vassar, medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, and practice as an internist and anesthesiologist. On medical trips to Haiti and Grenada, camera and stethoscope occupied the same bag. In the early 1990's she left the operating room for the darkroom, to work as a fine-art photographer in black and white. During the following decade, her portfolio grew to accommodate portraiture, still life, and landscapes, as featured in her books the heart of Haiti (1996, second edition 2006), Talismanic (1998), Venice a personal View (1999), Touching the Mekong (2003), Closely Observed (2006), Presence Passing (2007), Himalaya: Land of the Snow Lion (2009), and Bones Books & Bell Jars (2012), a photographic essay evoking the history of medicine. Since 1996 she has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad, and her images are found in museums and private collections. 72 poems & numerous photographs of Venice. Author's notes: " Most of these canti are, in fact, based on letters that were written and sent during our years in Venice, letters that had been gathered in their original versions just so.,well, so they wouldn't get lost." AND "This poem is dedicated to my daughter Catherine who prodded me to write an epic and assured me cats would be appropriate demons. At least she gets her cats, even if the poem turns out not to be an epic.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 85721
