Street Dance. Photos: Jerry Weise
Award-winning photos capture downtown Stillwater in color.
In August 2023, Stillwater residents gathered downtown to recreate a photo from the 1901 Stillwater Street Fair. During the recreation, Stillwater local Jerry Weise snapped Street Dance, a picture of a mother and daughter. Weise says he likes how the subjects’ faces aren’t visible in the image. “It makes it easier for the viewer to put themselves in the picture,” he says.
In Early Morning Coffee, Wiese says he was drawn to the light, shadow and color of the background while on a walk around downtown Stillwater. He framed the shot and waited for someone to walk into the scene.
