Tony Umile was a Brooklyn-born photographer who experimented with pinhole and in-camera double exposure techniques. His self portraits, images of Italy, San Francisco and New York reveal the layers and complexities of being human, across culture, and across time. He was a founding member of the Muse Gallery and the Longmont Studio Tour. Umile was struck by an automobile in Longmont last August, and passed away from injuries sustained. He was 84.

Umile was a beloved community member and a “regular” at the Java Stop cafe where he conversed with friends over the New York Times, created art and also exhibited his photographs. Our community deeply benefited from his adventurous spirit, loving heart and gregarious personality.
