	lBilly in a Buffalo Bar - 1954
William Pitcher Biography William Pitcher decided to become a photographer while sitting in a bar in Buffalo, New York. With a couple of beers on the table in front of him, a jukebox playing in the corner, and a life size image of a scantily clad Marilyn Monroe on the wall, he proclaimed this fact to everyone within earshot - it was 1954, and he was seven years old.

		This surreal-like atmosphere set the stage for a lifetime of visualization and unconventional thought. As a student of light and line, colour and composition, William has an innate understanding of how a camera ‘sees' compared to how the human brain assembles an image. Primarily a storyteller, William's photographic career has centered on industrial projects across Canada, and his reputation for working under difficult lighting conditions has allowed him to maintain an international client list, even while living in a small Rocky Mountain community. Scheduled for 2008 are projects in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and New York.


His artwork, on the other hand, is definitely anti-establishment and politically incorrect. William continues to develop story lines for his *Ancient Myths and Modern Metaphors* series. These highly technical pieces often combine the softness and beauty of the human figure with the harsh reality of the modern industrial world. His lack of formal art training has proved to be an advantage, allowing him a fresh look at old art while avoiding pitfalls caused by the over-specialization of experts unwilling to look beyond the narrow purview of their specialty.
