To say Stephen B. Jareckie was passionate about photography is a gross understatement. He nearly had film developer flowing in his veins, a flash dice regularly heading off in his head, a true eye for photographic artwork and a camera shutter flickering in his coronary heart.

“Perhaps pictures are a substitute for the genuine environment or slicing a little something out of time, but they have a beauty of their individual, just as pictures, as illustrations or photos on paper, and the surface area and the different emotions,” Jareckie instructed the Telegram & Gazette in October 2002.

Jareckie died Sept. 25 at the age of 92, but his legacy lives on in two art museums — rather fantastic for some who had first encounters with photography as a 10-12 months-aged attending summer season camp in New Hampshire.
