STATEMENT:
The essence of my style might be defined in the following two sentences: I strive to create a meaningful photographic
image by spontaneous reaction to a unique scene, event, character, irony, or juxtaposition. Also, I
try to limit the image to its basic compositional elements. Often, this refinement of composition is achieved
in the darkroom. I eliminate excess by precise cropping or "burning in" to subdue unwanted detail. An example
of this is seen in my Photograph, "Breakfast, Introspection". To ensure its candid quality, I grabbed this scene
quickly as I passed by the subject and on through the kitchen. Half the original negative is cropped away to precisely include
subject, coffee cup, and about 1 1/3 eggs. Three or four basic compositional and symbolic elements comprise this image. Another
fraction of a percent of image would include distractions such as table clutter and an STP decal on the window (which partially
remains if you look closely). While I feel many of my Photographs are complete as straight black and white images, I use various
tinting media to enhance aspects of select images. For some images, selective tinting helps to convey symbolic impact, for
others, it adds a touch of warmth. An example of this symbolic purpose is seen in "Tulip Fest"--the top half is
hand tinted in festive colors while the boy, separated from the party by a fence, is depicted in B&W. Also, to elaborate,
warmth and vitality are created in some images by strategically applying fleshtones to subjects.
To maintain consistent quality and integrity of style, I personally execute the creative and technical processes involved
in my original photography. All of the Gelatin Silver Photographs on display were captured on various B & W films. I print
them on fiber-based double weight papers and process for permanence using two fixing baths, archival clearing agents, Selenium
Toner, & maximum wash time. In 1989, I began manually coloring my photos---hand tinting selective highlight areas
of the completely processed photograph with media such as colored graphite pencils, food coloring, and Marshall photo oils.
Mattes are of non-acidic materials and cut with a basic Dexter tool and straight edge.
Since the mid-nineties, I've worked on a mixed media project that explores the use of the finished print as a metaphor for
Natural Life as we observe it: the distressing/destructive effects of physical forces, the resistance to these effects, and
the growth and reconstruction in response to these. The distressed print takes on a leather-like consistency and becomes a
new medium--unique and separate from the photographic print media. The image which was rendered nearly invisible is reconstructed
using chemical re-development, #2 pencil, and various Manual Tinting Media. " Since
2008, I've acquired digital means which have become a major tool in the process of my graphic arts creativity and expression.
It is my goal to merely use this equipment and software as tools to convey an artistic message in a style that is prevalent
throughout my 35+ years in photography...regardless of the various conveniences and advancements of technology.
