“My eye is often captured by moments of visual pleasure and playfulness. Emerging as a hobbyist photographer, this art form expands my field of vision in ways that enhance how I experience my world through changing seasons, community events, and serendipity.” > Read more
“My goal with photographs is usually to suggest the presence of a narrative, often whimsical or surreal. I aim to elicit responses like: “What’s going on here?” or “What happens next?” Or even: “Wow, that’s weird.” > Read more
“I am intrigued by the work of those accomplished photographers who have mastered the art of revealing the extraordinary from within the ordinary. My challenge is to interpret that ‘flash of perception’ and see beyond what lies before me in the prospect of revealing the extraordinary.” > Read more
“Through my photography I seek to draw the viewer into the fascinating world of what is all around us. I invite them to slow down, put their devices away (even for a few minutes) and see a little of what I see.” > Read more
“I feel as though I’ve always been drawn to shapes, details and patterns in the world around us. Photography is one of the ways that I try to share that vision with others.” > Read more
“My photographic work is prompted by both an artistic and a documentary impulse: I strive to create interesting images, with an eye for composition and a command of technique; but in my choice of thematic material – whether it is family and friends, landscapes, travel pictures, or images of birds and insects captured in their natural habitat – I want to keep a photographic record of the things that matter most to me.” > Read more
“The video for this show makes connections among seven photographs, one from each of the seven other members of F23 whose work is featured in this exhibit. These photographs, each one very different in style, content and technique, are used as the start and end points of computer-generated animation sequences. I’m attempting to establish a strong relationship between sound and image by creating both the music and computer animation for this project. I look forward very much to future collaborations with the members of the group.” > Read more
