Jamaican-born Radcliffe “Ruddy” Roye was a journalist who, dissatisfied with the photographs accompanying his articles, began taking his own. After relocating to Brooklyn in 2000, he became a photographer for the Associated Press. And when Hurricane Sandy came along, Roye became an “Instagram activist” — acquiring some 46,000 followers for his searing images of that storm’s destruction along with in-depth and compassionate narratives. Roye has spent a weeklong residency with students at Green Mountain College in Poultney, where he has a concurrent exhibit of photos aptly titled “Telling Stories.” Pictured: “Ba Congo.”
