Milwaukee photo artist Coree Coppinger presents a pictorial journal of participants at a Milwaukee club for recreational, amateur and professional fighters. This is a journey into their training, disappointments and victories. It is about winning and losing in all areas of life.
Coree writes: I like faces and really want to try to define a moment of history which brings about that moment of expression. I like candid shots, staged shots just don't excite me. I like to grab people in action. Sometimes the pictures even surprise me.

Well, hello there!

The Steenbock Gallery, sponsored and managed by The Center for Photography at Madison in partnership with Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, is dedicated to exhibition, exploration, and appreciation of the photographic arts. The Steenbock Gallery provides opportunities for photographers and curators, and serves as a forum for dialogue between artists, educators, students, and the public at large.
