3rd Thursday: Professional Development Brandon Sneed
2017-04-20 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | VILLEDGE Wood-Fired Kitchen & Bar, 207 SW Greenville Blvd., Greenville, NC, United States
Join us April 20th for the monthly 3rd Thursday networking event. Come meet and socialize with other Young Professionals in the Greenville/Pitt County area, and hear from local author, Brandon Sneed.
Brandon Sneed is an author, journalist, and speaker who once thought he’d be a pro baseball player, his attempt at which crashed and burned and ultimately resulted in his new book Head in the Game. He also recently joined B/R Mag, a new sports storytelling division at Bleacher Report and CNN, as a writer-at-large. Previously, his stories have appeared in Outside, ESPN The Magazine, and more, and have twice been notable selections in Best American Sports Writing.
When he’s not on the road, home base is Greenville, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife, toddler son, the baby in his wife’s belly, and their two dogs, a Jack Russell terrier named Cooper and a Jack Russell–pit bull mix named Jack.
Sometimes when he’s not writing or traveling around for research, he works out, plays softball and basketball, gets addicted to Xbox, and, every once in a while, goes for a jog. He often gets excited about other things he’d like to do, but then his body makes him sleep so his brain doesn’t get more messed up than it already is. You can keep up with him or just say hey at BrandonSneed.com.
This event is open to both members and non members, so bring a friend or co-worker!

3rd Thursday: Professional Development Burk Uzzle
2017-02-16 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | VILLEDGE Wood-Fired Kitchen & Bar, 207 SW Greenville Blvd., Greenville, NC, United States
CAREER OVERVIEW
Burk Uzzle’s career, like his pictures, is a nuanced composition blending American culture, individual psyches of particular places or people, and an atypical way of seeing ourselves, our values, and our community. Always respectful yet locating the poignant or quirky, the history of his narrative belongs to all of us.
Initially grounded in documentary photography when he was the youngest photographer ever hired by LIFE magazine at age 23, his work then grew into a combination of split-second impressions reflecting the human condition during his tenure as a member of the prestigious international Magnum cooperative founded by one of his mentors Henri Cartier-Bresson. For fifteen years, Uzzle was an active contributor to the evolution of the organization and served as its President in 1979 and 1980. During the sixteen years he was associated with Magnum, he produced some of the most recognizable images we have of Woodstock (album cover and worldwide reproduction of its iconic couple hugging at dawn) to the assassination and funeral of Martin Luther King Jr. to our comprehension for the experience of Cambodian war refugees.
His archive spans almost six decades. His current work rests deep in photographic appreciation of the quiet, strong, and eloquent beauty he discovers in America’s small towns and its people. Uzzle’s current body of work is the production of artful and constructed reflections of his subjects, many of whom are African-American residents proximal to his studio in North Carolina. Their layers of experience are conjoined with Uzzle’s fundamental appreciation for unseen characteristics, which he ably captures in a collaborative, interpretive context along with his eye and his heart. interpretation, of art, of independently produced projects.
