ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I've been shooting macro abstracts of rust and other textures since 1972. I've never stopped. But I've slowed down until early September, 2022. A friend brought me to this magnificent high and wide cinder block wall guarding a power sub station up in some hills-isolated-and just slathered in several layers of Graffiti..bright, pale, new, old and peeling. I placed a 2x ring on my Nikon 105 Macro and it was several hours of deep breathing, breath holding, crawling over stones and broken glass, standing tall. I want to be clear...I did not steal the work of these artists. I discovered very small parts and textures where the paint dribbled down and made its own forms. Where I found some of these semi-graphic forms, I enhanced them in post production in Photoshop. I'm grateful to have been open to seeing and feeling the metaphors and colors and levels of these technicolor images. IMAGE. 16"W x 12"H PAPER 22"W x 17.0"H

First off I wouldn't have evolved this far as an artist without the deep friendship of two very special shooters...Chipp Jamison and Keith Williamson. And I wouldn't have understood anything about technique and 'seeing' without my longtime mentor and friend, Phil Zimmerman. It was suggested that I talk about what motivates me to That's always been difficult for me. I've always held to DH Lawrence's warning of 'Never Trust the Teller; Trust the Tale'. So here goes..When my camera and lens come up to my eye everything changes in me. My eye, brain, heart body and soul align. I become a part of. And it's a magical and glorious feeling...a physical rush as well as a spiritual one. My nose is crushed against my face; I realize I'm not breathing. All of me is concentrated on what I see through the viewfinder and flowing to that image. I see it; I feel it; my pulse is racing; I rapidly bracket (an old habit from my analog days) because I want the moment to last; and I know exactly what it's going to look like when I download it to Photoshop. I have this same experience whether the subject is rust on old cars, the Dunes, People, news events, my Mannequin, Landscapes, Water, or Flowers. And the best aspect of photography for me is that I get to experience all the joy of that one image over and over. There are a lot of images here and I keep posting more. I'm prolific. I'm a shooter and an artist. It's who I am. The images are as real and honest as I am. Enjoy!
