  • ^vestern Carolinian features Eclectic Photographers Make a Snappy Return by Holly Rhodarmer Asst. Features Editor Most people take photography for granted. It is the least appreciated of the art forms. Photography is unique in that it captures reality completely - it immortalizes a single moment. Though most people have taken photographs, they do not realize the intense work involved in professional photography. The placement of objects, light, and development make it an involved, yet rewarding job. Western will be visited by two highly successful alumni photographers on Tuesday, February 29. Will and Deni Mclntyre of Winston-Salem will display their photography beginning at 1pm in the Founder's Auditorium in the Mountain Heritage Center, on the ground floor of the Administration building. The event is free of charge and open to the public. A reception will follow. Will Mclntyre graduated from Western in 1976 with degrees in Spanish and English. He was awarded the Western Carolina Alumni Association Professional Achievement Award at the 1999 homecoming activities. The Mclntyres are a freelance photography team that shoots on location for corporations, national magazines, and advertising agencies. Some of their work has been featured in Time, Fortune, Money, People and Beyond Computing magazines. They also shoot CD covers and portraits for book jackets. Their work takes them all over the globe. They frequent Latin and portraits. They are a favorite for travel magazines needing bright and beautiful pictures from around the world. Their most recent trip was to Bali. An island east of Java, Bala rests in the Indonesian archipelago. It has several active volcanoes and is framed by coral reefs that attract fascinating marine life. Denpasar is Bali's largest city, followed by Kuta. But Bali's attraction are not her urban centers, but her natural beauty. The Island is a photographers dream - Palm trees, bamboo thickets, rice terraces, coffee plantations, coconuts, papaya and snakeskin fruit. The water offers a new world of photo opportunities. Spinner dolphins, pilot whales, flying fish, octopi, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and sea stars ph^tocTurtesT^aylTmkTr are only a few of the delights of Will and Deni Mclntyre America, Europe, and Asia, shooting aerial and scenic photographs. They have published six books, most recently All Over the Map: Travel Photographs & The Stories Behind Them. The Mclntyres scope is large. They take pictures for medical corporations, such as Duke University medical center, businesses the sea. Iguanas, macaques and Sulawesi elephants add to Bali's exotic landscape. At the center of each community is a Javanese Hindu temple, where every six months a rededicatory festival is the occasion for music, dancing, cockfights and cricket fights. The festivals are perfect opportunities to create a wide range of pictures.

The Mclntyres capture the essence of the island. Their sensitive eye renders photos akin to museum quality art. The tradition of art is flowering in Bali, now that there is a world market interested in the culture of the island: textiles, teak and mahogany furniture, carved stone statuary, masks, rattan furniture, painting, dance and the art of wayang kulit - or shadow puppets. The Mclntyres embrace this new artistic flowering with their cameras. They make the natural beauty and culture of Bali available to all. The Mclntyres have donated much of their time and work to WCU. Their visit is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences. Petrovich-Mwaniki Receives International Art Award by Holly Rhodarmer Asst.
