Pat Jarrett (2014)

Pat Jarrett's "Master and Apprentice" series of poster-sized color photos of workplace-trainees and their mentors. Pictures include blacksmiths, cobblers, tribal dancers, singers, instrument-makers, printers, cheese-makers, and others.

Pat is a past guest of WMRA's "The Spark," where he recalled a long career in news photography.  His current specialty is "nonfiction visuals" (his phrase) which often have a picturesque aesthetic in spite of their officially-documentary nature. Pat captured the exhibit's images for the Virginia Folklife Program --specifically, their "Master and Apprentice" activity.
