FYI ~ my exhibit artist's statement

Artist's Statement • click to embiggenJust thought you might be interested.

And, yes, I'm working on the online exhibit gallery but that gallery is going to have quite a few more Forks pictures than the exhibit had. That's because I received an email today that stated (in part) ...

...Kelly at ADK Life asked if you could drop off a copy of your exhibit book to Adirondack Life Magazine... she would like to show editors and pursue a PHOTO featured article on the Forks with your images. She says until now, they have never done a story on the Forks because there isn't much of interest to do it on, but your images would work well.

response: It's in my nature to always be thinking at least a little bit outside the box. Some might even label it as "perverse" or "twisted". In any event, it seemed like the right picture to use.

Hmmm ... that's a very original "portrait of the artist"! What was your thinking in choosing this particular image (I'm not being critical, just curious)?

And it looks like you've created some ripples of interest in the wider community.

Sven:

Gravitas seems to think that images of topless, longhaired artists help sell prints, and capture the public's interest. I did not have the heart to tell him he was a little off the mark.

I also like this one of him topless.

don't forget "contrary", at the very least.
