Quote of the Day

 

 

One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty.

Quote of the Day

 

It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I “listen” to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening – a time for making photographs.

At times, “here” is the middle of the road in the midst of nowhere.

This photo works on a number of levels. The clothes

 

are fashionable, and fitting for a printout done in black and white.

There is pattern and texture galore, and something both familiar

and unsettling about a young lady who has apparently come a very

long way just to perch in a tired manner on a sturdy, well-wrought,

high-back chair.

 

The viewer is invited by the photographer to invent the how and why of this particular story.
