"The rare moment is not the moment there is something worth seeing, but the moment we are capable of seeing it." -- Joseph Wood Krutch"
The art of photography has little to do with technology: cameras, lenses, film type or megapixels. Rather, how we see and use our ‘tools’. Rather, how I select elements to be included in my compositions and understand how weather and lighting influence colors and shadows in rendering the image. Most my images are recorded using medium and large format film cameras. Most recently my...
... macrophotography is done with digital capture and image stacking (e.g., up to 50+ images in larger stacks). Again, not about the technology; rather - the vision behind the ‘tool’.
I do nearly all production of my own work. I have a 44” large format 12-color printer and cold-mount roller lamination system. I cut mats on a Wizard computerized mat-cutting system and cut/join my moulding. For canvas presentations I do my own printing, coating and stretching. All my work is done in my studio in Bloomington, Indiana.
