Recognizing Deborah Loeb Bohren

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate the outstanding artistic talent of Deborah Loeb Bohren, a resident of Greenburgh, who has established her artistic vision through the photographer's lens.

Deb worked for many years in corporate life in strategic communications, marketing, and public affairs. She even did a stint as district office director for Congresswoman Nita Lowey. However, her lifelong passion since being a student growing up in Yonkers has been in photography, at the level that includes exhibiting her works at galleries and in art shows from Europe to California to New England.

She has opined that ``the essence of photography is the art and science of painting with light.'' She uses a camera as an artist would use a paint brush--a transformation. While she has exhibited her work across the globe, here at home locally sites such as the Upstream Gallery in Hastings-on-Hudson have exhibited her works.

She shares her talent in photography as a guest presenter at camera clubs throughout the country and teaches a range of photographic courses.

Mr. Speaker, from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, I salute the masterful photography and talent of Deborah Loeb Bohren.
