Homer Davenport (1867-1912) was Oregon’s first media super-star. Yet, few outside his hometown of Silverton, OR are even aware of the impact this self-described “country boy” had on society. His unique rural Oregon upbringing, along with a supportive and nurturing home life, equipped Davenport with the intellectual tools and the artistic skills needed to hit the ground running. He arrived on the scene during a perfect storm of technology and public sentiment, between the end of the "Gilded Age" and the beginning of the "Progressive Era."Gus Frederick is a native Oregonian, born in 1954, 100 years after his hometown of Silverton was founded. He is by training a filmmaker and photographer, although he has broadened that term by necessity to multimedia artist. He currently works as a conceptual artist, photographer, filmmaker and animator for the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal's Fire & Life Safety Education Division.
