Seasonalife's Founder - Duane A. Schweitz

---

The Short Story (The full story)

One man, Duane A. Schweitz, has been moved by the humanity imaged in architecture for more than 30 years. In 1976, he chronicled the commercial constructs of Bar Harbour, Maine. In 1980, driven by the desire to freeze time and record a place, he created the "Cartographic Artifact" of Lake Placid, minutely detailing every shop, home, and civic gathering place just prior to the legendary Olympic Winter Games. The next quarter century saw Duane creating some of the most original and powerful creative campaigns yet devised.

Triggered by his move to a home in historic Pittsford Village, the imperatives of the artist's eye demanded that he return to his true love – depicting the true meaning of ownership in its best sense. To this end, he has photographed virtually every home within the Village not once, but four times, demonstrating the intimate relationship between the timeless cycles of Nature and the tidy geometry of men and women. The result is a monumental tribute to this harmony called Seasonalife – each house, from the same place and angle, clothed in all the beauty of each season.

Duane's plan is to extend the Seasonalife concept to other historic seasonal villages all across America. Twelve other seasonal villages are already in production and four will Premier the Winter of 2008.
