Norfolk Now is pleased to announce the addition of the newest member to our all-volunteer staff. Carol Stein joins Adela Hubers as co-staff photographer with this issue of Norfolk Now.

Stein began working in photography in the 1960s. She studied with luminaries such as Gary Winogrand while a photojournalist documenting antiwar protests and gang members on New York’s Lower East Side. She went on to a career in medicine and public health, where she was based at the University of Rochester Medical School.
Stein moved to Norfolk seven years ago–about the time she rediscovered photography. In addition to her own fine art projects, she is developing a clientele of international NGO’s. She will go to Tanzania and Mozambique next spring to photograph nutrition and blindness-prevention projects for Helen Keller International.
As for choosing Norfolk as home, Stein says, “It reminds me of the North woods of Michigan where I spent childhood summers, and it’s also near my work in New York City.” She enjoys the snow but always looks forward to the Norfolk summer, especially the Yale art and music programs.
