The Work of Making Art

Making art, like most highly creative fields, requires time, experience, thought, and at times, a thick skin for rejection. Some people make art because they like the process, the freedom of expression. Then again, some people make art because the need to, they have a desire to create and show the world a different way of seeing. It’s not easy, it’s work, it takes time, it takes life experience, it takes a lot of thought, and a lot of courage to be different and to accept it. Each image I create can take at least an hour, but usually much more to be finished. It takes the equivalent of my entire life in time and experience, as well as a lot of thought to visualize the final image, with no guarantee that anyone, other than myself will like it. Art is work and it’s not easy.

On digital Photography, Surrealism, and Abstract images

Much of my earliest work was in watercolor and collage with a stylistic foundation in surrealism. To me, Surreal images with the chaos and combination of seemingly unrelated images are representative of the world we have created. My earliest work as a (film) photographer attempted to capture the abstract and surreal nature of what I saw. I believe photography has always been more than simply exposing a sensor or an emulsion to light then manipulating a process to produce an image that is a faithful representation. A faithful representation of what’s in front of the lens, for me, is more of a point of departure. From there, I strive to uncover and expose the art inherent in everything around us. Digital photography and in a broader sense, digital imagery, allows me to record the world I see and examine the chaos of our world, piece by piece. By examining each facet, I can gain an understanding of its nature and value. The abstract and Surreal images I create attempt to reconstruct our world based on the inherent nature and value of each facet.
