photography is a relatively uncomplicated process fraught with endless variables,
constant frustrations, and countless vexations. As a result, then, what is at
once simple and clear-cut becomes challenging and complex. So much the better,
since worthy results should never be granted to any but those who are diligent,
sensitive and determined. Images captured through careful planning and dogged
pursuit far outnumber those stumbled into due to good luck or happenstance. As
a self-taught artist, the lessons I have learned are the result of much trial
and error. However, even from the start a certain sense of mission has served
as the binding thread running through all of my travels and efforts: that of wanting
to produce work that can celebrate and, perhaps, contribute to the artistic tradition
of landscape art as it has been known in North America; and to eventually expand
my reach to include the rest of the world. It has never been enough, then, for
me to photograph a particular area without knowing the history, geography, geology,
and climate of that place; and the relationship that might exist between that
location and the history of landscape art. As a photographer, my primary focus is always on the compositional integrity of the image. Everything is meant to be rendered as a full-frame finished product without the need to crop or digitally adjust any aspects of the scene. Nuances of color, texture, mood, and lighting provide the finishing touches. Fine photography, more than many other endeavors, is an infinitely perfectible process; one that, to me, needs no other goal than to relish the opportunity to tread the path of constant effort and improvement. The reward lies in the process itself- evidence of artistic growth and greater ability is expressed in images that meet the expectations of the imagination and that both stand on their own as effective renderings of the subject and convey a proper sense of place and historical context. | |
