Artifacts / Abstractions

This study of architecturals is comprised of the Traditional and Avant- Garde, as “A Way of Seeing”. Using custom equipment and all in-camera, I am creating images as I see them. I am using the properties and physics related to traditional “view-camera” technique but on a digital platform. I am most definitely pushing and “distorting” these photographic limits. A wide angle field of view, excessive filtration, lens refraction, X/Y axis distortion, and localized focus, all play a role in my “abstractions”.

Architectural / Meditative

Overgrown, abandoned, and often “hidden” from view, we sometimes notice them, in a flash. Engulfed by nature, these artifacts remain as evidence of an earlier time. As we linger in this view, do we see comfort or are we “disturbed” by it? Are we reminded of the great story-tellers, poets, or even clergy of the past telling us something?

They are in fact, a “blur” in our minds eye, as if we have seen them from the backseat of our parent’s car in a younger day. Now, a generation later, we see that nature has impeded on them and it brings a new kind of image, one that is shared by two very unlikely manifestations; man-made versus nature, an event now coming full circle.

Movement / Synopsis

Introducing........” A Way of Seeing”

Who is to say that I have abstracted these images; are they not abstract on their own? I have merely walked by and observed this very unhurried event. My “mind-made” image is recognizing a subject in its own struggle and I can hear, think, and recreate what I am witnessing in a very deconstructed, distinct, and unique form, and introducing to you, “A Way of Seeing”.
