Paul Venanzi and Bill Kanawyer
Same Location
Different Views
June 1 – July 31, 2026
Paul Venanzi and Bill Kanawyer have been nextdoor Cranbury neighbors for almost 35 years. We share a common location but have different world views as expressed in our shared love of photography and the arts.
Paul Venanzi has been a Cranbury resident for the past 35 years. He has been featured in both jazz and rock bands locally and is a docent at the Cranbury Historical Society Museum in the Village.
Bill Kanawyer has also been a Cranbury resident for the past 35 years. He has been active in support of the Cranbury Public Library, the Cranbury Arts Council, and other service organizations.
Over time Bill and Paul’s different and shared experiences have enhanced their views of the world through a camera’s lens. Each looks from the same place but sees very different things. Paul likes to think of his work as “Sorted Photographs” while Bill refers to his work as “Loving views of the world around us”. Together we are two old neighbors and old friends that enrich each other’s lives by both what we share in common and how we see the world differently.
