After
20 years as a business litigator, Leo
Howard Lubow gave up his practice in 1997 to pursue two passions: writing and photography. Since
then, he has completed an existential
thriller, written articles on interests ranging from jazz to boxing,
and
created a cross-disciplinary body of images that includes fine art
portraits for clients, and fine art prints for sale. His work has captured first place in several recent exhibits
and
competitions, and has appeared in the British press, as well as in
various local and national
publications, including Downbeat
Magazine, Jazziz,
NPR.org, Baltimore
Magazine, and Shutterbug. Lubow shoots film and digital (Canon &
Leica), and performs all post-capture work to completion of the final
print. Although he works in both color and
black
& white, the latter predominates, particularly when the subject is
one of
his favorites: jazz and blues
musicians. In addition to appearing in several exhibits, in
recent months Lubow has lectured and taught courses in photography and
photoshop, shot several jazz
albums, been profiled in The Baltimore Jewish Times,
had
his work displayed on the PBS program, Artworks, and was a featured
contributor to the Baltimore
Urbanite. If Lubow isn't in his Brooklandville studio
shooting a portrait, designing a CD cover, or working with Photoshop,
you'll find him prowling the streets of the city ... any city ...
hunting for just the right moment. January
