Dear Reader, The photographic image dramatically shaped our understanding of the world. Since it's invention we have the ability to visit far off places and learn about people we have never met without leaving the comfort of our home. At six years old, my own understanding of the world was deeply altered when I first discovered a stack of National Geographic magazines at a garage sale. The images in those pages demonstrated the power of the photograph and revealed a global landscape waiting to be explored. This was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with foreign places, meeting different people, and delving into their cultures. My first journey began in 1990 when I embarked to explore this big blue marble first hand. I set out to "make sure they really existed" and packed my camera to record the events along the way. The camera has been more than a documentation device; it's a conduit for connecting with other people. Through lens I've been able to connect with people without a common language. The camera has given me license to sit with a subject for hours, to introduce myself to a stranger, and a reason to get up early and walk down lonely roads. Over 15 years I have shot over 60,000 images in 35 countries. Much of these have centered on Asia, North Africa and Europe. I have created JuicyStock from an edited selection of this library, which is what you see here today. At present the collection consists of imagery with a global context. In the near future we will be adding a wide range of lifestyle and people focused material. There is also an initiative to enlist additional photographers onto our team. The JuicyStock collection will grow exponentially so be sure to check back often. Please enjoy these little windows to the world and feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. Yours Truly, Gregory Cowley |
