Photographer Greg Wickenburg
ONE PHOTO CLOSER TO FREEDOM ARTICLE MICHELLE GUERRERO
GREG WICKENBURG IS A SELF-TAUGHT PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER WHO SPECIALIZES IN TAKING IN-CAMERA DOUBLE EXPOSURES. He photographs one subject, reloads the digital image, and takes a second shot on top of the first. He creates something unique and different between the two blended images. He never edits his photographs. Occasionally he crops, but only because it can be a challenge maneuvering his wheelchair close enough to the subject. Wickenburg was in an automobile accident when he was a teenager and is now a C-5 quadriplegic, which means he’s paralyzed from the shoulders down and only has partial arm movement. 18

“I’ve loved photography since I was a kid. I used to collect coffee table books from around the world,” says Wickenburg. “In the '90s I bought a fairly nice camera and I couldn’t get any of the shots to work. I got frustrated and quit. A couple of years ago I saw a photograph and was inspired, and thought I could try again with all the modern technology.” The inspiring picture was a double exposure and the modern technology he speaks of are advancements in digital cameras, touch screens and wi-fi. Wickenburg mounts his Canon camera with its Tamron lens on a Mount’n Mover movable arm, braced on his wheelchair. This makes it possible for him to adjust the camera independently. He snaps his shots by holding the shutter cable in his mouth and pushes the button with his tongue. He uses a computer stylist to adjust the camera settings. “I moved to Chandler from Seattle in 2004, mostly for the weather. My injury makes my body temperature run very low, so I’m often too cold,” he says. “I never left the house in Seattle. Here I take 10-mile jaunts. Once I got the camera and got outside, it’s been a life-changer.” Wickenburg enjoys taking photos of nature and wildlife, even though wildlife is his biggest challenge.

“It’s hard to get close enough to things and I’m so slow. By the time I get a camera pointed and focused, often it’s too late,” he explains. Nevertheless, Wickenburg would like to photograph a coyote. He’s waiting for the weather to warm up, and then he can be outdoors

earlier in the day. His favorite photo is of his Papillon service dog, Roo, overlaid with a butterfly. Papillon is the French word for butterfly. It’s the fifth photo Wickenburg ever shot and the first he sold. “I have an email from the lady who bought it, and a picture of it up on her mantle,” he says. Roo is more than a cute sidekick who enjoys collecting golf balls on their strolls around the course. He also retrieves dropped pencils and removes the credit card from Wickenburg’s shirt pocket and places it on the counter. Roo is a rescue, going on 13, but even with health issues Roo takes his job seriously. Seemingly small things like placing a credit card on a counter can be the difference between independence and dependency. Wickenburg has his sights on freedom. “I haven’t been able to drive for 36 years. I took some driving lessons and if we can raise enough money to buy a van, I can go where I want, when I want.” Vocational Rehab will fit a vehicle with the needed equipment, but first he needs a new van. Along with the sale of his art, Wickenburg has a GoFundMe page to help reach his goal. Wickenburg sells his images at Art One Gallery in Scottsdale and his art can be viewed on Facebook. Every piece he sells brings him one step closer to freedom.

THE
CHANDLER MUSEUM OPENED ITS DOORS AND WELCOMED VISITORS. The debut main exhibit is the museum-staff produced Gaman: Enduring Japanese American Internment at Gila River. Exploring the experiences of more than 16,000 Japanese Americans who were taken from their homes at the start of World War II and placed in the Gila River Internment Camp south of Chandler, it includes objects from the Gila River camp from museums across the country. Among them is a letter from the camp’s baseball team’s manager to a team in Tucson, explaining that they won’t be able to play because of their suspicion surrounding the team should they leave the camp to play in Tucson. There are also crates that families built to pack their belongings. Gaman, which runs through April 18, 2020, is an example of the museum’s intent to showcase elements from the city’s past and present that are relevant to Chandler and its residents, explains museum administrator Jody Crago. “People

The city broke ground on the museum in 2017, but the yearlong project has roots that go further back. When its doors first opened in 1972, it was known as the Chandler History Museum. It was located in a former fire station across from City Hall and was founded by the Chandler Historical Society. It remained there through the mid-’80s, until the museum moved into a small structure in front of the downtown public library. In 2012, physical deterioration forced the offices, research center and small gallery into the McCullough-Price House, a 1938 pueblo revival-style home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Voters approved the funding for the new museum through bond elections in 2004 and 2007. This is the primary source of funds for the $4.3 million project. While the funding was secured, the recession’s impact slowed down the projects. But by 2014, talks resumed and the project regained momentum. Today, the museum has found what is likely its permanent home just north of its previous spot.

FAMILY PROGRAMMING
Every Saturday, a family program is offered in the form of lectures and other presentations. The rotating schedule features a history detective program that involves working with clues to solve a real Chandler mystery, a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program resulting from a collaboration with the Museum of Science and Sustainability, and a demonstration of an art or traditional activity of the past. With the total programming, traveling exhibits and permanent collection, it’s possible for visitors to come regularly and be treated to something different each time, Crago says. There is one experience that Crago believes visitors will find especially fascinating. The main hallway features a timeline of Chandler’s history with photos from the permanent collection. The series is comprised of 44 images depicting events and people, beginning with the earliest photos from Chandler and moving forward to current ones. It opens with a large mural of Chandler in 1913, right after it was founded, Crago explains. As guests walk through, the photos become more current. “You see ostriches, farms and agriculture, and then Waymo cars and hotels. You can really see the differences and how the city has changed over the years,” Crago says. The big push to take the museum to the next level started in the early-’80s, when the historical society worked with the city to identify the need for a new venue that would do justice to Chandler and its history. “For 35 years, people have been trying to get this museum to be a reality. It’s a testament to their devotion to see this project through,” he says. “It’s been an effort of passion

Smita creates her custom cakes for all occasions, including birthdays, weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversaries and special occasions like Super Bowls or celebrating a friendship.

MARNIE AND JEFF BROOKINS GlassMelts GlassMelts.com Marnie and Jeff Brookins, who have been married for over 30 years, started their career in glass when they bought a home in Chandler in 2000. After Marnie didn’t have any luck finding a stained glass window for their bedroom, Jeff suggested that they try making one themselves. The couple transitioned to glass fusing when they saw some fused pieces at a supply store, and they bought their first kiln. Their fused glass is mostly functional in nature, and includes nightlights, bowls, soap dishes, incense holders, candle holders, plates, trinket dishes, ornaments and business card holders. The couple hopes that their pieces will be used frequently, and not merely for show. 28
