 Nancy
Andrews, 39, has been Director of Photography at the
Detroit Free Press for two and a half years. The former
WHNPA Photographer of the Year now considers 20 degrees
warm. Since being in Detroit she’s bought ice
skates and learned all the names of the Stanley Cup
winning Red Wings. “Hat trick” and “icing”
are now part of her once exclusively Southern vocabulary.
Andrews believed that you could
edit a year of a newspaper photography staff’s
shooting and make a compelling coffee table book.
She did that in 2002 with “Time Frames: Our
lives in 2001, Our city at 300, Our legacy in pictures,”
a 224-page photo essay of Detroit by Free Press photographers.
Prior to editing in the Great
Lakes state, Andrews photographed at The Washington
Post for 10 years. In 1998 the University of Missouri
and the National Press Photographer’s Association
Pictures of the Year named Andrews Newspaper Photographer
of the Year. In 1999, she was named White House Photographer
of the Year by the White House Press Photographer’s
Association.
Andrews has published two other
books, “Partial View: An Alzheimer’s Journal,”
published in 1998 with SMU Press and “Family:
A Portrait of Gay and Lesbian America” in 1994
with HarperCollins Publishers. The Palazzo Reale at
the Pizza Duomo in Milan, Italy, The Corcoran Gallery
of Art in Washington, D.C., The Rochester Institute
of Technology SPAS Gallery, and The University of
Virginia’s Bayly Museum on Art have all hosted
solo exhibitions of her work.
