Brian Faulstich
Featured Photographer
By DEBORAH REESER, THE PAPER STAFF
WRITER
Brian Faulstich found his future buried in dusty boxes that
contained his parents' past.
He was a sixth-grader rummaging through things in the basement
when he found a box full of darkroom equipment. The rest, as they
say, is history.
After many false starts on his way to building a career, Faulstich
turned his childhood hobby into a passion, then a profession. Now,
visitors to the 2004 Kirtland's Warbler Festival can help
celebrate his career. Faulstich, originally of Ann Arbor and now
living in East Tawas, will display his work as the festival's
featured photographer.
"I've always found myself drawn to still life photography and that
is what I work in," said Faulstich, who views. the Kirtland's
Warbler Festival as a great .. opportunity to present another view
of nature;
His photography will be on display in Kirtland's Student Center
throughout the day on Saturday. He plans to share a variety of his
work.
"I'll bring landscapes and flowers, abstract nature and nature
still lifes. It's all based in nature," said Faulstich. "I do a
lot of color, with a mixture of black and white."
He does his own prints on a high-end inkjet printer using 100
percent cotton paper.
The son of a tool-and-die maker, Faulstich holds a degree in
business administration, which he pursued to help run the family
business. He did that for about 15 years, until turning seriously
to photography about five years ago.
Faulstich displays his work at Classic North, a home decor store
in East Tawas, where he also offers framing and matting. He hopes
to open his own gallery.
