I have been fascinated with the art and craft of photography since I was child.
The magic of capturing a scene, a moment in time, is at the core of that fascination. The excitement I still have when seeing an image develop on the paper and the childish impatience of waiting until it is safe to turn on the room lights, is a feeling I can get nowhere else in my life. The frustration, the sweat and often failure in capturing what I thought was truly there, brings a sense of humility that my creative ego needs Yet there are times when all things come together, my vision, the camera, the exposure and most importantly the light...
Landscape photography is unique in as much as it is the only art form that forces the artist to conform to the scene in front of them. The
light,
the sky, the terrain are all uncontrollable, indeed we must often settle on the angle of view. We fight this struggle with meager tools: the choice of lens, perhaps a filter, exotic chemistries, and undoubtedly the best tool; a stoic sense that every failed image only brings us closer to the next great one.
