In the English language and the art of photography, both nude and dunes are anagrammatic, both a confirmation of motion beyond the subject. Dunes move with the wind, the nude subject moves at will; sun and light dance on ridges and curves, never staying still for too long, but long enough to create with motionless motion.
As I continue in this craft --this art-- of photography, I find myself lured to form and composition.
Skin and sand; concrete and clouds; light and texture; angles and curves; movement, momentum and the practice of patience and learning to sit still and see what is in front of oneself; how to let the camera become part of oneself; to see through the lens its limitations and capaciousness. I used to think that the human form was separate and distinct from all else, but I now think that it is simply what it is: a world as vast as the world in which it lives.
I am an autodidact black and white photographer using both 6x6 and 35mm as media. I'm particularly interested in abstract, abstract nude and landscape photography and how these genres equally intersect and diverge.
I am from the United States and have travelled extensively to Europe and enjoy the opportunities while there to find subjects that pique my curiosity --ones often missed by those too busy to look.
