I love to photograph ...just the magic of it is exciting. I am continually amazed at the process that allows what I see to end up on a piece of paper to review and play with over and over again. I truly enjoy it, there is nothing heavy, no deep philosophical ponderings, no message that the rest of you must see to make your life more understandable. I do it because it feels good and I'm elated when I do it well enough that I'm ok with sharing.
The "Three Pears, 2006" is one of my most recent photographs. I found these on a recent trip to the market. "Pick me, pick me" they shouted. "We're round and juicy (and maybe sweet as well)". I brought them home, (they'd be good for a snack). They sat on the counter for a day or so, just sitting there being pears, lovely Red Comice pears from somewhere in South America.They sat there until I could resist them no longer. I grabbed them up, trundled them off to my studio and had my way with them. We danced for days and I loved every moment ... lost in it... totally surrendered to the time, effort, and materials. Totally oblivious to warming, warring world outside that constantly jars my senses and causes me to wonder if there really is intelligent life on this planet.
