Owens About the Cover Yet another perspective of one of the most treasured resources in this region: The American River. This rendered photo combines the keen eye of the photographer with a digital post-processing approach to create a surreal deep-blue image that conveys equally deep emotions through its natural moonlit beauty and poignant hazy expressions. The image was captured shortly after sunset in the winter of 2005 as the rising moon illuminated the clouds and fog settled into the middle fork of the river canyon. About the Artist William D. Owens is making a name for himself creating soft, moody images reminiscent of painted works using computer-assisted photoprocessing techniques. The long-time Auburn resident enjoys a growing fan base as he expands his presence through regional art competitions, local exhibitions and expositions at galleries and gift shops. Many of his photos use vapor and haze to turn ordinary scenes into ethereal visions. Owens can be reached through his business— Opus54 Photograhics—at (530) 885-5871 or www.williamdowens.com.

Heeere’s Johnny… Please welcome our new Perspectives’ editor, John McCreadie. John – definitely not Johnny – comes to us with a degree in journalism, expertise in marketing and a passion for written words. He’s a native Californian and resident of the Sierra foothills since the turn of the century. He also contributes articles to the Sentinel newspaper in Auburn, one of the few remaining independent newspapers in the state. In interviewing John for the Perspectives editorship, I learned landscape design is one of his creative endeavors. I liked the notion of John’s skill and vision in learning both the lay of the land and a client’s interests, then selecting materials and providing a beautiful design, which suits both. This may well be similar to understanding the diverse public interests of the greater county, then planning relevant, insightful and practical editions of Perspectives to showcase the best of the region’s creative annuals, perennials and varietals. Ethos, Pathos, Logos So, what’s at work inside these issues – beyond the flowers? Truly, it takes a cast of skilled practitioners to produce this and every issue. And you – the reader – can depend on the character of our cast. A home-grown, professional production team made up of contributing writers, graphic designers and printing partners that together mine the stories and layout the images from a vast array of source artists, producers and presenters in the region. These editorial professionals, including myself, value our lives in Placer County and the breadth of arts amenities for both residents and visitors. Like John–each of us harbors a passion for our creative profession. We witness children, family, friends and neighbors growing from exposure and participation in the arts and arts education. We often wear our passion on our sleeves – and pages – and in so doing make no apologies. Know that behind the publication stands years of research in the arts, humanities, culture and creative industries. Before us, beside us and with us are local, state and federal agencies with which we partner. While our views do not directly reflect the views of each agency, we use our experience to share what we believe to be most germane to our community. We provide calendar items to help alert you to the many ways to enjoy the abundance of arts in this region. We also work with many organizations, groups, galleries, gatherings, clubs and events throughout the county – and beyond – to be a leading source of information about the arts and humanities for Placer County. In our stories and news items, we often cite research and point readers to sources of information about the arts. Information is power. We want you to better know the arts, in all its incarnations, and raise your voice as a creative human being. Yes, we strive and struggle productively – to deliver this message – and to bring you another issue of Perspectives. We embrace the help of others, and once again extend a hardy welcome to John for joining our team. Read on – and as always, we welcome your comments. — Angela Juliano Tahti Executive Director New Perspectives’ Editor John McCreadie. Perspectives March/April 2007
