Please download Flash Player Burk Uzzle has given more than four decades to his unique blend of the American sensibility, its themes and values, and his own way of seeing. Often blending the individual psyche of a particular place or person with his sometimes quirky, sometimes humorous, and always respectful way of photographing, Burk has produced a body of work all his own. Solo museum exhibitions include The Art Institute of Chicago, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, International Center of Photography in New York, the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, and the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, Florida. Books of his work include "Landscapes," "All American," "Progress Report on Civilization," and "A Family Named Spot." Burk was the youngest photographer ever hired by Life Magazine when he was placed under contract at the age of twenty three, and then went on to a fifteen year membership in Magnum Photos, the international photographers co-operative, where he served for two years as its president before leaving in 1983. From his homes in Florida and Seattle, Burk has many new projects, books, and exhibitions in the works. Represented exclusively by the Laurence Miller Gallery in New York, Burk is in many museum and private collections worldwide. 1938 Born in Raleigh, North Carolina 1955-1956 Staff Photographer, NEWS and OBSERVER, Raleigh, NC 1957-1962 Contract photographer in Atlanta, Houston, and Chicago for Black Star Agency of New York 1962-1968 Contract Photographer for Life Magazine, Chicago and New York 1967-1983 Member, Magnum Photos (New York and Paris) 1979-1980 President, Magnum Photos 1984-1997 Independent photographer based in New York 1997-2006 Independent photographer based in Florida 2006- Independent photographer based in Florida and Seattle
