WINIFRED MEISER

Since arriving in the USA from Scotland as a new bride in the early sixties, I’ve visited and lived in numerous places throughout the US and Europe, sometimes by choice, but more often by the random selection of assignments in my husband's career - first in the U.S Navy - then as an aerospace employee.

Fortunately (maybe unfortunately for some folks) I love talking with people and frequently found myself with new people in new settings, which made my foray into photojournalism a natural extension of my life. And in a real twist of fate, I’ve even been on a photo assignment aboard a military ship for several weeks at sea while my sailor spouse remained ashore on temporary assignment.

And now with time and opportunity, we’ve traveled in our motorhome up and down and across America and Canada, even reaching “The Top of the World” on our way to Chicken, Alaska and throughout the delightfully colorful Canadian Maritime Provinces

Sponsorship

Wherever I am, I like to have a camera nearby. Sometime it’s a photographer's paradise – others places are less obviously photogenic, but photography is more than snapping pretty pictures. It's about looking and seeing, experiencing a taste of the world around you.

Initially, I took photos to accompany my articles and later began participating in exhibits. With the advent of digital equipment and software such as Photoshop, the sky – and your imagination – are your only limits.

For example, using Photoshop, I incorporated two of my photographs – an American flag and an Alaskan Bald Eagle, into one 6 ft canvas image entitled “Freedom’s Messenger” for a “Kites Over Vista” banner which hung on a lamppost in downtown Vista, CA. The movements from the flag’s stars and stripes are replicated in the movements of the Eagle’s wings and in the red & white stripes it carries in its’ beak

From this image, I created the design for my sculpture “Freedom’s Struggle” (now on permanent display in Vista, CA) as a tribute to our military and veterans. The streetlamp is an integral part of the sculpture. The April 7, 2014 edition.San Diego Union Tribune published the article “Military Tribute to Become Permanent “ and a photo http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/apr/07/freedomsstruggles-militarytribute-kitesovervista
A chance meeting with a Gifted and Talented elementary school teacher opened a new avenue in my life. She invited me to talk with her students about photography.

I felt that the children needed a hands-on experience, not just someone to show them pictures and talk about their photos.

Thus was the beginning of Through Children’s Eyes, Inc. a nonprofit (501) (c) (3) organization using photography as an educational tool. It was incorporated in 1984 with donations of equipment and supplies from the photographic industry including Vivitar, Nikon & Fuji.

Photographers - both amateur and professional - from a college student to newspaper reporter - to WIPI members (including current President and Photo Artist, Jean Ferro who conducted a program with children at the Los Angeles. CA Children’s Museum, and Past President Nancy Clendaniel in Seattle, WA on a ferry-board ride with a boatload of eager youngster) volunteer their skills to help instruct and develop children’s visual awareness and communication skills.

The children's images, from the US, Russia, and Indonesia, have been exhibited in numerous locations, from local libraries, photography centers, children's museums, and the United Nations in NYC.

In March 2000 we held our first Internet-based programs and online Photo Gallery exhibits in cooperation with YMCA children’s programs in Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA and St. Paul, MN.

An exhibit of a recent program, “A Hunt For Public Art In Downtown Vista” is at the Vista Civic Center (open through May 15, 2015 at Vista's City Hall). During a reception for their exhibit, the children were introduced to City Council members while their proud parents and family watched. The children then presented a copy of their book “What I Saw and Learned on a Photographic Hunt For Public Art in Downtown Vista” to the City Council.

Local news coverage included the San Diego Union Tribute’s publication of a group photo and an online slide show and article “Cameras On the Go” by The Vista Press. A copy of the book, which includes my documentation photos, the children’s Artist’s Statements, and recognition to the sponsors, is included in the WIPI/Yale Archival project. Recent Program: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/apr/27/vista-arts-academy-kids-city-hall-photo-exhibit

Over the years, a lot has happened, yet in some ways, nothing has changed. Here, in 2015, I still find ways to fit in everything in that means a lot to me – the Through Children’s Eyes program, my photography and art projects, my writing, the environmental and tobacco education programs - and of course, the comradeship with other WIPI members and their encouragement, which keeps us all motivated.

UPDATE - JULY 2015 - MARCH 2016

Yes, it has been a busy time this past year, with exhibits & travel, and exciting photo opportunities, including photographing a jet fighter’s in-flight refueling from a US Military Refueling Tanker. There was nice local media coverage for two projects close to my heart - the Through Children’s Eyes photography program, and my Playtime With A Purpose Environmental Edu-tainment Program activities.

Also, an interview with 92081 magazine.com was published in their November/December, 2015 edition,. I was invited to participate as “Principal For A Day” in the Vista USD annual event. A great adventure and unique learning experience for eighteen of us “principals”, detailed in the December 4, 2015 online article in The Vista Press. All this, plus community recognition of my patriotic sculpture “Freedom’s Struggle”, inspires me to keep on “keeping on” with my photography, art and environmental activities.

January 2016: My sculpture “Freedom’s Struggle” is designated for placement next to the new Memorial Wall in Vista, CA. The sculpture, like the Memorial Wall itself, was created in tribute to our military and veterans, past, present, and future, to thank them for their service and sacrifices that keep us free.

In May 2016, “Freedom’s Struggle” will be installed on Rotary Lane, in cooperation with the Hi Noon Rotary Club, the Vista Art Foundation, and the City of Vista. A formal dedication ceremony will include the screening of a short (10 minute) documentary by Vista High School students conducting interviews with their peers and community members on the design and meaning of the sculpture, and the traditions of the American flag. Quotes from a variety of local residents will be narrated by Francine Filsinger, President of San Diego Filmmakers.org.

This is my third patriotic-themed art piece to be accepted for public display in Vista.
The first, “The US Flag & California Poppies” was one of the first “Vista in Bloom” utility box murals, the second piece was “Free Flight”, a six foot. photographic image on canvas banner, displayed for a year on a streetlight on Main St. in Vista.

Originally displayed as one of the “Kites Over Vista” public art series, “Freedom’s Struggle’s design combines my digital images of an Alaskan Bald Eagle and a US flag. The flag, which I photographed in Vista, was originally flown over the US Capital Building in Washington, DC on a 4th of July, and later presented to a military member in recognition of service.

Using Photoshop I combined the image of the flag’s movements with the eagle so that its’ body and wings carry the stars representing the United States. The eagle’s beak holds a ribbon of red and white stripes that represent the thirteen original states. The stripes - tapering down into kite strings becoming entangled/untangled? around the lamppost - represent democracy’s never-ending struggles to remain free.

The stars and stripes were painted on the sculpture’s eagle from enlarged details of the merged images.

I look forward to creating additional digital works, in a variety of mediums and materials incorporating the exciting technology of full-color 3D printing.

2016 – 2021 Overall Goals:

Create several other public works of art, including large-scale sculptures, using full-color 3D printing. Expand the reach of both the Through Children’s Eyes program and the environmental educational goals of the Playtime With A Purpose program

2016 - 2021: Through Children’s Eyes Program Projects and goal.

• The Camera as an educational tool for literacy: Alphabetical photos into words series.
• Through Children’s Eyes – A 35-year Respective: Photographic Exhibition & Photo-Book Series, including images from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
• This nonprofit organization will operate worldwide under the guidance of an international educational/children’s organization.

2016 – 2021 Playtime with Purpose Environmental Edu-tainment Program Goals:

• International Performances of the musical “Roxy the Recycling Robin and the Mystery of the Missing Trees” – both stage play and animated film version, for children of all ages.
• Activities conducted with inter-generational groups.
• The play, with it’s’ simple message and short lines serves as both an environmental and children’s literacy educational tool environmental.
• Roxy is the children’s environmental spokeswoman for a worldwide audience.

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 16 - APRIL 2017

2016 & 2017: Photography, Photojournalism, Artwork, Activities, Exhibitions and Events

April 22, 2016. I was honored to have my sculpture "Freedom's Struggle" moved to Rotary Lane, and placed near the Memorial Wall, by request of the Rotary Club and the City of Vista. Both pieces were created with the same tribute in mind, "To honor all who serve – past, present, and future.

September 11, 2016 Brandon Gallery, Fallbrook, CA. "Remembering 911" exhibit. Theme depicting scenes of shared experiences, survival, and gallantry. Received Merit Award for my photo of a 911 NYFD First Responder visitor to Fallbrook being thanked by patriotic couple. (Sept 20, 2016 The Vista Press Article/photos "Local Photographer Wins Award – "Remembering 911")

Community photojournalism projects:

Throughout my life, I've photographed a wide range of worthwhile community activities, particularly those that involve students from K though 12 grade. I'm always impressed by these young people's dedication - whatever the activity- and heartened to know that there are so many good young persons out there following in the footsteps of the civic groups that keep their communities strong. A sampling of events recent events include:

December 4, 2016 Vista Christmas Parade.
December 15, 2016 San Diego, CA Police Foundation Benefit by the "Kids for Cops" students, to raise funds for higher protection vests for police officers.
January 28, 2017, Oceanside, CA Veterans Association of North County San Diego Vietnam Veteran's Medal-pinning ceremony
March 25, 2017 National ENCORE dance competition The energetic, talented students (ages 5 – 17) competed in the regional competions.
April 21, 2017 Vista HS JROTC Patriotic, dedicated members with their precise Pass & Review and Color Guard ceremony, and a very distinguished Awards Ceremony.

Among these dates, the January 28, 2017 event stands out most in my mind: Three generations of family, a host of their friends; the town's mayor and community representatives; plus veterans of WW11 and all later wars- came to witness a formal military medal-pinning ceremony – with the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, two Purple Hearts, and several other medals pinned on the lapel of Vietnam veteran and hero Daniel Iman, by his Congressional Representative Darrel Issa.

This traditional ceremony took place a little late – actually, over forty years late, since the medals arrived in the mail while he was still hospitalized recovering from wounds received flying a helicopter on numerous flights under fire to rescue servicemen from enemy territory. Recently, a retired buddy learned there had never been a formal medals presentation and contacted his congressman; the rest as they say, is history. The San Diego Union Tribune and The Vista Press published articles with my photos of this occasion, and of a variety of other community events.

Another special to me event, on April 22, 2016, was the opportunity to photograph my sculpture "Freedom's Struggle" being moved and reinstalled on Rotary Lane, next to the Vista Memorial Wall. It was relocated there at the request of the Hi Noon Rotary Club and the City of Vista. Engraved pavers, with the names of military members - past, present, and future - will be placed around the base of the sculpture.

Vista HS students conducted and filmed studio interviews with their peers and community members about the sculpture and are now writing a student narration on war, what they learned about it's impact on both the young and adults. The short (ten min) documentary, to be screened as part of a future student film festival, also discusses the impetus behind the design and name of the sculpture.

2016 Through Children's Eyes Program activities in Vista:

2017–2022 Goals:
1. Personal Photography/Artwork
2. Through Children's Eyes, Inc. program
3. Playtime WithA Purpose Environmental Edu-tainment

1 Personal Photography/Artwork Goals:
Exciting options await via the digital and 3D printing mediums. I want to see where full-color 3D printing will lead me in combining photography and art.

Creating additional "Freedom's Struggle" sculptures and other artworks for both full-scale and reduced-scale pieces, using resins and 3D printers - a challenge I look forward to ASAP!

2. Through Children's Eyes, Inc. Goals:
Long-term goals for the organization include: To link TCE with world-wide educational organizations to conduct on-going TCE programs within their communities and share the children's photography with their peers in other nations through photo exhibit exchanges.

To promote use of public art spaces - galleries, museums, and civic centers - to include a designated space for curated displays of children's photography and artwork on a regular basis, and to create a publication that lists those locations.

For example, the museum at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido CA, and the Civic Center Gallery in Vista, CA have provided space to exhibit children's photography and art. Also, the Vista Art Foundation included a monthly "Young Artists' Gallery" exhibit space in their gallery.

3 Playtime WithA Purpose Environmental Edu-tainment Program Goals:
Worldwide Recognition of Roxy, "The Children's Environmental Representative".

International Performances of the musical "Roxy the Recycling Robin and the Mystery of the Missing Trees" – both stage play and puppet show formats, and an animated film version, sharing a simple environmental message for children of all ages.

Provide libraries everywhere with sponsored copies of the "Color N Keep It" coloring book/short story to Read, Remember and Recycle message, and to serve as an inter-generational basic environmental and literacy educational tool.

I hope to accomplish most, perhaps all of these goals before passing the baton of my community activities to our next generation, with whom I have so much regard, faith in for our future.
