One of America’s most highly regarded photographers, Burk Uzzle has claimed territory all his own as a chronicler of the quirky and strangely beautiful in the vast American landscape. A Family Named Spot gathers seventy-seven black-and-white photographs taken during the photographer’s many trips across the United States in the last decade. Also included is an Allan Gurganus short story inspired by the photographs and published originally in The New Yorker.

A self-described "hard puppy to keep under the porch," photographer Burk Uzzle created the images in Just Add Water by traveling across the United States with his 8 x 10 camera, capturing the vivid, celebratory, sometimes eccentric personality of the American landscape in the unique style that has become his trademark.

Burk Uzzle was born on August 4, 1938, in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States.
Burk Uzzle has spent his life as a professional photographer. He was the youngest contract photographer hired by Life magazine at age 23.
For sixteen years during the 1970s and 1980s, Burk Uzzle was an active contributor to the evolution of Magnum and served as its President in 1979 and 1980. While affiliated with the cooperative, he produced the iconic and symbolic image of Woodstock (showing Nick Ercoline and Bobbi Kelly hugging), helped people grasp an understanding of the assassination and funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and powerfully projects comprehension of what it means to be an outsider - from Cambodian war refugees to disenfranchised populations without voice or agency to portraits of communities not identified on a roadmap.
His archive spans more than six decades and captures much of the history of analog and digital photography. His current bodies of work-rest deep in issues of social justice.
Burk Uzzle returned to North Carolina and now lives and works in two century-old industrial buildings located in downtown Wilson not far from where he was born.
