How does MCG give? One way is by sharing images. Images that hopefully bring life and light to some of the good work being done to feed and house locals in need, promote wellness with the aid of horses and keep our local waterways and ocean flourishing.

One of the perks of photographing events for our local Gibbes museum is meeting the artists and witnessing them sharing their stories and gifts. John Westmark’s ‘Double Bind Series’ encompass’ the whole feminine spirit; bold, bright, movement, stillness, grace and strength. The pieces are large with up close surprises.

If you like to eat, the Gibbes Museum Street party is your party. Keeping with the theme of East Meets West, the event incorporated belly dancing, henna body art, an open bar, more than 15 of your favorite restaurants and desserts galore in the middle of downtown Charleston.
