think outside

This site, the new Blue Ridge Fellows logo and brand identity, and the tagline "Think Outside" were developed by Patrick Dennis, whose son was a fellow in the Class of 2019. Patrick can be reached via his Dennis Creative website or via email at Patrick@DennisCreative.com.

We are grateful beyond words for the graciousness and generosity of Sam Dean, an extraordinary—and extraordinarily accomplished—photographer, who gave us permission to use the vast majority of the photographs we've used to show the beauty of the Roanoke area throughout our site. All but one photograph in the "Why Roanoke?" gallery was Sam's work. Thank you, Sam.​​ See much more of his work at SamDeanPhotography.com. Better yet, hire him the next time you need a photographer for a project.

A couple of other great photographs of Roanoke come from the talented Terry Aldhizer, whose work can be enjoyed on flickr, or purchased at terryaldhizer.com.

There is one photograph (of Smith Mountain Lake) in the Why Roanoke gallery that was courtesy of Daniel Hart of hartsphoto.com.

The photo of the Taubman Museum of art was taken by Tommy Firebaugh. The Photo of 5 Market Street is here courtesy of Mike Klein. Most of the awesome photos of the Blue Ridge Fellows Class of 2015-2016 were taken by Blue Ridge Fellows alum Katherine Gunning.

 

Photos of the Blue Ridge Fellows Classes of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 and many photos across the site from Church of the Holy Spirit were taken by Erin Smith.​​​
