neighborhood in a sleepier time: a lone midshipman slowly trudging through the snow by St. Anne’s Church; the official vehicle in front of Farmer’s National Bank; men chatting by the Courthouse fence; garden club members selling flowers; a family waiting for a parade; and neighborhood markets. People are recorded living, working, going about their everyday activities, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures–as generations of Annapolitans have done on these streets for years.
From the time he arrived in Annapolis in 1947 until his passing in 2006, photographer Marion Warren was a vibrant, productive, active, and beloved citizen of the town he grew to love and call home. As a founding member of Historic Annapolis in the early 1950s, he created compelling photographs that provided strong arguments for the preservation of the many historic building and homes, which still grace these streets. Throughout his more than sixty year career, he visually documented Annapolis, the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its people. By mastering the art of light and shadow, he bestowed a lasting legacy. From the farms of rural Missouri where he grew up to the deck of a skipjack plying the choppy waters of the Chesapeake, Marion Warren bore witness to his time and his place and we are all the richer for his vision.
