Charles A. Lowe was born in Gloucester August 17, 1932 to Arthur W. and Anna Marie (Robishaw) Lowe. He attended Gloucester public schools and received his high school diploma while serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He did much of his training, including aerial photography, at the U.S.Navy Photo School in Washington D.C., and served as photographer’s mate second-class. He graduated in 1957 from the Franklin Technical Institute in Boston, majoring in photography. He also studied color technique at the Professional Technical Center of the Eastman Kodak Company in 1969, and did further studies at the Montserrat School of Visual Arts in Beverly.
On September 5, 1957, at the age of 25, Lowe went to work at the Gloucester Daily Times, just as the newspaper was moving into its new building on Whittemore St. Charlie Lowe’s friend and colleague at the paper, John ‘Doc’ Enos, wrote in his December 1981 obituary: “The first of his 20 photography awards – in sports, animal, feature, personality and news – came only months after he began work at the Times."
