Paraphrase

Rolling Wave Under Belly, 2014 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I believe my current fascination with movement stems from an interest in context. I remember years ago reveling in the notion of ambiguous context in images. By cropping an image down to some small element of the original you can find extraordinary but ...

Enough

Inverted Orange Sky Smear, 2014 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) After some reflection over today's image, it feels like it has roots in skyline images I took years ago hanging out the window of a car bombing down a road at sunset in Kaui. There was a flat green foreground with a ...

Considerations

Deconstructed Pink Orange, 2012 - Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I can't help feeling odd lately. I find myself with a small amount of time on my hands - enough to get down to creative work but I feel the work isn't worth doing. I've been in production mode in my print business working ...

Perhaps this is a backlash or result of the artifice or rather, the perceived artifice that digital photography and programs like Photoshop can achieve. The odd thing about this (mis)perception is the ready consumption of artificial imagery in advertising and popular media like ...
