Your Bio

Econosmith or Maxine Smith and John Economos as they are known individually, is a wife and husband team, from the tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown, MA. Bringing very different perspectives on everything they shoot, from their differing equipment, goals, approaches and strengths. One technical, the other an artist, each constantly challenging and learning from the other. The end result are images that capture a little of the spirit and soul of their subjects.

Best known for their images of musicians with folkies a specialty. Strong relationships with producers and performers who have a high level of comfort with Econosmith allows them unusual access to subjects. The end result are behind the scenes images that provide an all too rare glimpse of the person rather than the performer. Their work has been published worldwide in newspapers & magazines, featured on Late Night With David Letterman, Discovery Channel, documentaries, websites and many CD's including two Grammy Award winners.

Clearwater Earth Day Concert 2012 : A second year for this Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Concert. The theme was to celebrate Woody Guthrie's legacy in this what would have been his 100th year. Held at Tarrytown, NY's Music Hall and produced by Steve Lurie, this was an amazing night of music by some of the best performers in folk, rock, blues, jazz and world music. Covering a five decade span, old friends and new, the performers had a great time right from sound check, when they all realized that magic could happen this night. Playing solos, duets, trio's and groups they shared talent, fun and a mix of their own and Woody's songs. Starting with a reading of Woody's words from his grand daughter Anna Canoni, to the surprise vistit by Pete Seeger all the way to the finale led by Pete this was one of those all too rare concerts that exceeded all expectations. We've tried to include shots that capture some of the spirit of this gathering.

Clearwater Earth Day Concert 2011 : On April 22, 2011, Earth Day, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater organization hosted a historic concert at the Music Hall in Tarrytown, NY. They brought together generations of performers, all in one venue for one special night. Lengendary performers as well as some legends to be, in a concert that may never be repeated. With performers ranging in age from about 4 to 92, from those waiting for their first album to those with hits and Grammys they had two things in common, a deep caring for the Clreawater mission and a love of music. We were fortunate to be the official photographers for this event. Our goal was to capture the behind the scenes mood and feeling of the night as well as the actual performances.

Pictures from Ptown : Provincetown, MA is one of our favorite places. The people and their spirit are what makes it so special. The ocean and light are a bonus. We don't shoot the typical sunsets and sunrises (actually we can't help but shoot them) but rather every day life. Through photos of every day scenes in town, from walks on the beach to some of the special events found in no other place we are trying (this is a work in process) to capture a little of the flavor of this wonderful place. For those of you who know Ptown you might notice our shots include spring, fall and winter but not many of the summer season. We find that the off season is when the local folks have a chance to slow down and breathe and it's when the Provincetown we enjoy the most shows through. Check back once in a while as we add new shots.

Our committment to the Clearwater mission and passion for what we do motivate us to try and capture the true spirit of the Revival experience and not just document it. We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did taking them.

Peace Marches : We have been opposing this war since before it started. One of contributions to the efforts has been to participate in and document many rallys. We have tried to tell the story by capturing the feelings of the people. We offer our work to the many small goups of vocal activists who organize protests, publish websites and try to get the message out without any help from the mainstream media.
