CONVERGE “Where Visions Meet”
What began as a shared interest in photography grew into something deeper. As photography associates, William Manley and Bo Baines crossed paths through the craft—exchanging ideas, techniques, and perspectives. Over time, that connection evolved into a real friendship rooted in mutual respect, inspiration, and growth.
Though our visual styles and creative approaches differ, we’ve continuously challenged and encouraged one another to see further, push harder, and create with intention. This exhibition represents that journey—two distinct visions shaped by individual experiences, now brought together in a shared space.
“Converge” is a reflection of collaboration without compromise. Separate bodies of work. One room. A meeting point where perspective, light, and story come together.
We invite you to step into this shared space, explore each vision, and experience where they meet.

About the United States Marine Band
Established by an Act of Congress in 1798, the United States Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Its mission is unique—to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
President John Adams invited the Marine Band to make its White House debut on New Year’s Day, 1801, in the then-unfinished Executive Mansion. In March of that year, the band performed for Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration and it is believed that it has performed for every presidential inaugural since. In Jefferson, the band found its most visionary advocate. An accomplished musician himself, Jefferson recognized the unique relationship between the band and the Chief Executive and he is credited with giving the Marine Band its title, “The President’s Own.” READ MORE >
