PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS

The process creating these images uses state of the art cameras, computers and printers to capture random moments in nature. While the technology employed is extensive, the photographs are not the result of digital manipulation. Each photograph is a combination of subtle movement of the camera while directing in real time the speed and track of movement.

Creating these abstractions is akin to watching a Japanese potter celebrate the imperfections that are allowed in the crafting process. For the potter skill and craft come together with the randomness of nature to make a tea bowl of character and uniqueness. The master potter has the technical skills to make the perfect bowl, yet instead the potter allows the slip of a finger or the flip of a wrist to render randomness; then after firing in an imperfect wood kiln the multiple elements come together. The potters final step as a editor selects the few bowls where these random elements create a captivating vessel. So to here from the many photographs taken in the field and after multiple editing steps a few photos where technique and random create the unique captivating photograph.
