About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

Contrasting notions of what a bench should be, Philadelphia, PA• click to embiggen
Hmmmm...

Artist photographers also borrowed the idea that they could use nature as a metaphor for self. In photographing a "nature" that they are part of, they purport to reveal a world hitherto hidden that only creative insight can show. The end result, the image, then is left to speak for itself, telling us how the artist's "soul" and " psyche" has somehow processed nature. ~ Angela Kelly, from her essay, Self Image

Hmmm ...

Hmmmm. I wonder what what would be revealed about a person based on which bench he or she decided to sit upon? I can imagine that that would be something I would enjoying watching from a distance. I see a clash of the pastoral with the cool contemporary.
