Born in Boston in the midst of the Great Depression in 1932, Paul Caponigro was able to break away and introduce the world to nature in a new light, as seen through his camera lens. Beginning at age 13, Paul began exploring the land around him, freezing in time the world’s simplest wonders, including his famous piece: Running White Deer. After looking at his photographs of simple objects such as fruits, it is clear that Caponigro has a unique way of bringing a sense of spirituality through the lens of his camera. He has been awarded two Guggenheim fellowships and three NEA grants.
