Forest Path

I am still pushing into photographs that have a darkness to them. I’m trying to look into those places in between where most people don’t. Part of the story of our humanity rests in these lonely places where darkness dwells even in broad daylight and fear seeps from the very ground. To try and pull this emotion together takes a combination of locating the image to photograph and then “seeing” it through this pair of glasses. That requires a lot of post processing but I see the original image they way it ends up and the struggle is to get the image to reflect what I’m seeing when I shoot it.

I am exploring the dark nature of our minds and how the everyday can suddenly take on a look that evokes fear, terror or unease. There is so much of this in the journalistic photographs we see everyday. To think that this fear and unknowing surrounds us all the time can be a very disturbing thought.

I’m working on a set of photos I am calling “Darkness.” I want to capture that feeling of old and lost. Here is one of the photos.

On our last trip to Chicago we were met by rain and cold. I took this photo near the North Face store where Kathleen works. It has been added along with two other photos to 100in365 so check it out. I’d love some comments.

The Tower

Well I got it off the ground. My new project is to produce 100 photographs in the next 365 days. Many will be new shots that I just took but I also plan on spending time working on older shots I did in film, both negative and slide. There is a wonderful thing that happens when film and digital are mixed that needs more exploration.

I am also going to spend much more time studying the master photographer. There is so much in their photographs and also keep broadening my knowledge in art in general. This is a developing website and I know over the next year it will grow and change as I learn more and find new emotions to express. Enjoy the humble beginnings. Go to HERE.
