Craig J. Barber is a Northwest-based photographer documenting farmers and their work--growing our food. For more than 30 years he has focused on cultural landscapes in rapid transition, some fading from memory. His work has explored Viet Nam, Havana, Tuscany, and farmers in the Finger Lakes and Catskill Mountain regions of New York State and now the Skagit Valley in Washington State. He has taught photo workshops and lectured about photography throughout the United States, Ireland, Central Europe, and Mexico, using alternative cameras and antiquarian processes. Barber has been awarded grants and residencies from the Seattle Arts Commission, Polaroid Corporation, New York Foundation for the Arts, MacDowell Fellowship, Light Work, Glacier National Park, and the Constance Saltonstall Foundation. His work is represented in more than 50 public and private collections, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, Center for Photography at Woodstock, Chrysler Museum of Art, George Eastman Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Museum of Art, Houston, and Victoria & Albert Museum, among others. Barber's photographs have been exhibited in both group exhibitions and more than 80 solo exhibitions in Europe, South America, and North America. His previous book is Ghosts in the Landscape: Viet Nam Revisited (Umbrage Editions, 2006).
